Abstract: | In this work a novel in-line non-invasive rheological measuring technique is developed and tested in pilot plant and industrial-scale
applications. The method is based on a combination of the ultrasonic pulsed echo Doppler technique (UVP) and pressure difference
method (PD). The rheological flow properties are derived from simultaneous recording and on-line analysis of the velocity
profiles across the tube channel and related radial shear stress profiles calculated from the pressure loss along the flow
channel. It is shown that the in-line UVP-PD technique allows for the non-invasive rheological flow behaviour characterization
of non-transparent and highly concentrated suspensions.
