- the solution to this problem is based on the knowledge that the flow resistance of the impact body in the flow stream, which is made up of the pressure and friction resistance, can have a detrimental effect on the signal quality.

- the detection of the spatial spread of the acoustic signals and the detection of the flow energy of the conveying flow with the aid of only a single multi-axis vibration sensor with at least three measuring axes, preferably perpendicular to each other, means that the detection of the acoustic signals and the flow energy takes place simultaneously and thus in relation to a corresponding collective of solid particles, so that distortions of the results of the signal processing are avoided due to a time interval between the detection of the flow energy and the detection of the acoustic signals for determining the grain size distribution taking the flow energy into account.
- the pressure resistance of the impact part can be effectively reduced by ensuring that the frontal area of the impact part, i.e. its cross-sectional area projected in the direction of flow onto a surface perpendicular to it, does not exceed 10% of the entire surface of the impact part
- the flow resistance of the impact part of the impact body around which the flow passes can be reduced not only by the shape and direction of flow, but also by increasing the surface quality by reducing the frictional resistance on the surface of the impact part.

- the recording of the acoustic signals of all measuring axes and the determination of the concentration or bulk density as well as the grain size distribution refer to an essentially identical collective of solid particles from the conveying flow, i.e. the sample is taken in close proximity to the multi-axis vibration sensor during the recording of the acoustic signals for calibration.
- the control operation of the signal processing of the electrical signals of at least three measuring axes of the vibration sensor for determining the grain size distribution following the calibration then comprises the following steps:
- standardization preferably Only the frequency spectrum of the continuously recorded electrical signals, which was previously defined for the creation of the calibration function, is considered.
- the control operation of the signal processing of the electrical signals in a conventional vibration sensor following calibration is analogous, whereby only the electrical signal recorded by the vibration sensor is normalized using the normalization function in order to eliminate the dependence of the signal for determining the grain size distribution on the flow energy.
