A research project has been funded to fabricate, commission and test an acoustic probe with appropriate instrumentation to demonstrate the capability to accurately measure weight percent solids in slurries at the one to five weight percent range. Funding is provided by the Department of Energy due to interest for real-time monitoring of the size and weight fractions of solids in slurries during retrieval and transport of radioactive materials between storage and processing tanks. The unit will be tested on a slurry flow loop at Oak Ridge National Laboratories.
