Slurry Whiteness Measurement
Application
The application is to measure the color, particularly the whiteness in slurry solutions of such minerals as Calcium Carbonate, Clay etc. The problem is to present the liquid in such a way that the instrument can make the measurement . Looking through a sample window can be problematic due to contamination and damage to the window. The solution is to have a small open section of pipe, approximately 100mm in diameter and 50 mm high, that is fed from the bottom and
Method
The Senware color system typically reads color in the widely accepted CIE L* a* b* standard (other scales possible). These results can be converted to 4 – 20 mA signals for each of the L, a and b signals for each sensor, or read across an industrial bus solution such as Ethernet/IP etc.
Graphical representation of the data is also available as an option.
