Product Specifications
The Thermo Scientific Ramsey Granucor
solids flow measurement system
provides continuous, real-time flow
measurement of free falling materials
and dense phase, pneumatically
conveyed bulk solids. It gives you
the feedback you need to control your
process, which allows you to increase
the efficiency of your process, run a
safer system, produce higher quality
Thermo Scientific products, and improve your bottom line.
Ramsey Granucor
Solids Flow Measurement System
The in-line measurement of bulk solids flow
is important for product quality, process
efficiency and system safety. The Thermo
Scientific Ramsey Granucor solids flow
measurement system provides continuous,
real-time flow measurement of free falling
materials or dense phase, pneumatically
conveyed bulk solids. Its non-intrusive
design and patented software can be used
to monitor and control the flow in pipes or
the flow distribution through pipe networks.
Applications
The RamseyTM Granucor solids flow
measurement system is ideal for measuring
mechanically conveyed plastic pellets
and pneumatically conveyed solids in
coal-fired blast furnaces.
In blast furnaces, the system can be used
to balance feed among the tuyeres, improving
blast furnace efficiency, as well as iron
quality and consistency. It can also be used
to measure the flow of plastic granules in
injection molding facilities or pelletizers,
and to control the flow of various additives.
Capacitance Flow Measurement
A complete Ramsey Granucor solids flow
measurement system is composed of two
independent sensors and a correlator/
integrator. The Thermo Scientific Ramsey DK13
velocity sensor and Thermo Scientific
Ramsey DC13 concentration sensor operate
using capacitance technology and are designed
for direct installation into process piping.
The Ramsey DC13 concentration sensor
measures the change in capacitance with
material present versus the capacitance of
an empty pipe. This change in capacitance
is proportional to material concentration.
The Ramsey DK13 velocity sensor uses two
measuring points and a technique known as
cross-correlation to measure the time it takes
for the material to travel between the points.
Both of the sensors’ measurements are
then output to the Thermo Scientific Ramsey
Micro-Tech 2109 or 3109 correlator/integrator,
which calculates the mass flow rate. For more
information, refer to the separate product
specification sheet on the Ramsey Micro-Tech
2000 or 3000 series of electronic integrators.
