The z8000 is essentially a resistance tomography instrument that can also measure impedance; phase and reactance. Impedance can measure real and imaginary parts, which gives another set of data to understand complex materials and how they are distributed in the course of a process. The z8000 can capture data 1,000 dual frames per second, which enables it to measure rapid flows or any process which is fast moving.

In contrast to many systems-based measurement techniques, tomography sensors are able to rapidly sense throughout a volume. Thus providing a dynamic picture of what is going on inside a pipe or vessel, e.g. whether a system is homogeneous.

Whilst our existing technology can measure flow, it can only resolve speeds of up to around 1.5 m/s. The z8000 instrument has been designed for those industries where rapid flows are present, such as the petrochem and the nuclear sectors. The instrument is suitable for multi-phase systems such as the measurement of flowing oil water systems and hydraulic conveying of slurries.
