Abstract

This report presents a study to identify the stratification of the solid phase inside a pipeline. One of the most promising areas in the mining industry is the development of devices for measuring solid mass flowrate in pipelines, mainly in transportation of ore.An apparatus to evaluate the stratification level through of ore pellets spatial distributions inside the pipe is important because it increases the safety condition of pumping and solid phase transport.
