Abstract :
An automated technique to measure the settling velocity of particle suspensions has been developed. The technique relies on the measurement of conductance as solids settle through a conductivity cell. The cell consists of two electrodes mounted flush with the wall of a cylinder and separated by a set distance. The technique is illustrated by determining settling velocities for single and mixed sizes of silica, and as means of detecting particle agglomeration.
