ABSTRACT:
A tomographic flow imaging system comprising three or more capacitance electrodes positioned around a pipe through which a flow to be monitored passes. The capacitance between each pair of the electrodes is measured, and an output is derived from the measured capacitances which is representative of the distribution of material within the pipe. A predetermined voltage signal is applied to one electrode at a time, and the electrodes other than said one electrode are connected to sources of equal fixed potential. The capacitance of each pair of electrodes is measured by measuring charge flowing between the said other electrode of the pair and the source of potential to which it is connected.
