New m3000u - Ultrasound Tomography System

21/10/2008

A new Modality – Ultrasound Tomography System (UST) – m3000u instrument has been developed by Industrial Tomography Systems plc.

The user operation GUI has been developed in conjunction with the ITS m3000 platform. The UST modality can be operated either separately or together combined with the existing ITS m3000 ERT and ECT modalities during an online process.

A screen shot from an online measurement by using the m3000u to detect an object (diameter = 3cm glass bottle) within a UST sensor in diameter = 5.5 cm with 16 transducer electrodes.

Principals:

It emits a pressure wave into the fluid and to detect it at different location on the vessel surface (the ultrasound time of flight). The frequency of the pressure wave is of the order of MHz.

The m3000u can provide information on:

The determination of the group velocity of the fluid in two or three dimensions. This is related to spatial distribution of the fluid’s density/compressibility.
To determine the possible and size of objects within the fluid. These objects may be either solid or gaseous.
