The system offers in-line, real-time flow measurement to a number of industries looking to enhance process understanding, and improve manufacturing efficiency and quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif\"><strong>How it works<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif\">The DFF sensor consists of a hollow pillar mounted on a stationary base, containing two optical strain gauges, Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBGs). The LOI is connected to the FBGs via a fibre optic cable and continuously monitors the FBG spectra. When the pillar is deflected by flow, one FBG becomes extended and the other one is compressed, leading to a shift in wavelength spectra. A larger deflection results in a greater shift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">When the probe is immersed in a moving powder or material, the DFF sensor bends under the force of the flow. The magnitude of the deflection is continuously measured and quantifies the drag force flow in real-time, which is a function of material properties such as size, density, adhesion and strength, allowing operators to assess material properties in-process.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The system provides an in-line, real-time assessment of powder flow enabling improvements in process understanding and manufacturing efficiency in various industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46575,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5928],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-46574","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-powder-testing","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/46574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=46574"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=46574"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.processindustryinformer.com\/product-finder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=46574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
