ABSTRACT:
An instrument (10) particularly suited for use for purposes of measuring the presence of suspended solids in a slurry. The subject instrument (10) is comprised of a floating probe portion (12), a long tubular member (14) and an energy dissipating baffle (16). The tubular member (14) is suitably attached to the floating probe portion (12) by virtue of having one (18) of its ends affixed to the middle of the floating probe portion (12). The energy dissipating baffle (16) which is suitably mounted in supported relation to the other end (20) of the tubular member (14) preferably is in the form of a cylindrical member (24) that is divided internally into essentially three chambers (26,28,30) by means of two deflector plates (32,34). The two deflector plates (32,24) are each perforated (36) and are mounted within the interior of the cylindrical member (24) so as to be inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member (24). Positioned in juxtaposed relation to each of the two deflector plates (32,34) is an opening (36,38) that is formed through the wall of the cylindrical member (24) so as to be operative as a passageway for liquid entering or leaving the cylindrical member (24).
