    High Pressure Pipe - Clear Section

    Yes that is a possibility - thank you. The only downside is that they are quite small in diameter. One supplier I talked to said they can be 5/8". Maybe I'll try phoning some others to see if they can make them with a larger diameter or not.

    High Pressure Pipe - Clear Section

    I want to see the liquid because I want to observe the real time reaction between two components over the long term under pressure. Thank you LittleInch. Could you please share the details of where you got this built and what diameter it was?

    High Pressure Pipe - Clear Section

    I was wondering if anybody is aware of an engineered high pressure clear pipe option that is rated higher than typical clear PVC pipe/fittings or full-view sight flow indicators. A portion of the pipe length can be metal, and then if there is a clear section within it, that is what is desired...

    Can you measure mineralogy in a liquid slurry?

    Thanks for the reply. I tried contacting Outokumpu and they said that the instrument you are referring to (Courier C40) was somewhat successful for very simple mineralogy measurements, but it wasn't accurate enough for complicated mineralogy streams (including nickel). So basically they don't...

    Can you measure mineralogy in a liquid slurry?

    Thanks for the reply. The problem is that the process is not constant. For example, there would be more salt for example in the stream at one time and more clay in at another. So your density would constantly be changing, but you wouldn't know which component is changing it. We need precise...

    Can you measure mineralogy in a liquid slurry?

    Hi I was wondering if anybody knows of an instrument that can measure mineralogy in a liquid/solids slurry stream. I know an XRD can measure mineralogy, but it has to be a dried sample. Also XRF can measure a liquid/solid stream, but it only gives an elemental chemistry analysis, not...

    Orifice velocity/pressure - requirements for mixing powder into brine

    Hi I was wondering if anybody has any insight in figuring this out. This is the background: we want to mix and hydrate a starch powder into a salt saturated brine. The way we would like to do this is by using an orifice in a pipe with a powder induction hopper connected to the pipe right after...
