TL;DRAbstract

On-line measurements in pneumatic transport systems are a complex task. Several techniques are available for measuring different kinds of flow, however, only some of them are suitable for gas/solid systems. This paper describes major techniques used nowadays: capacitive, ultrasonic and microwave. Descriptions of the measuring principle of each technique as well as an overview of the research work reported in open literature so far are discussed. The advantages and limitations of their application in pneumatic transport systems are also presented.
