AGRICULTURAL SAMPLE SUSPENSION PROCESSING SYSTEM

Claims

An agricultural suspension analysis system includes a mill configured to combine an agricultural sample solid with a diluent to form a sample suspension, and an agitator configured to agitate the suspension. The mill is fluidly coupled to the agitator via a flow conduit inclined at an angle to a horizontal reference plane greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. A velocity and associated flow rate of the suspension are maintained through the flow conduit to prevent solid particles in the suspension from detaching. The flow rate / velocity is selected with a corresponding slope of the flow conduit to keep the solid particles in suspension.An appropriate relationship between slope and flow velocity / flow rate can be applied to flow conduits routed between other fluidic devices in the system that transport sample suspension.
