New high pressure Electrical Capacitance Tomography Sensors
6/6/2008
ITS have developed an ECT (electrical capacitance tomography) sensor design based on a stainless steel pipe with a polymer liner. The combination of stainless steel outer and polymer inner can be designed and machined to match existing stainless steel pipe work. The new sensor can be used at a higher pressure than our existing ECT sensors on pipelines or flow loops.

ECT tomogram from high pressure sensors
The figure above is the ECT tomogram of two sensors measuring the resulting capacitance of a heterogeneous gas/solid mixture. The figure on the right is the resulting capacitance tomogram of the high permittivity component while the figure on the left is the simultaneous detection of both materials.
