ABSTRACT:
The average particle size for particles distributed in a slurry is determined by transmitting at least one beam of ultrasonic rays of a certain frequency into the slurry, detecting, by separate detector means, on one hand ultrasonic radiation that passes through the slurry and, on the other hand, ultrasonic radiation scattered in the slurry, said detector means forming first and second signals corresponding to the intensities of the passed-through and the scattered radiation respectively, determining the scattering attenuation factor on the basis of said first and second signals and the total attenuation factor by using the intensity of passed-through radiation obtained with pure water, and determining the particle size with the help of the scattering attenuation factor, whereby the radio of said factor and the total attenuation factor is formed in order to eliminate influence of the slurry density. Two transmitters operating at different frequencies may be used, whereby one detector may detect passed-through radiation at one frequency and the other detector may detect scattered radiation at the other frequency.
