Abstract
A system and method for monitoring the composition of a magnetically permeable material, where the system comprises a first container containing a volume of magnetically permeable material; a flow path for flowing the magnetically permeable material out of the container; a sensor for determining the inductance of the magnetically permeable material; and a sensor for determining the density of the magnetically permeable material. The sensors for determining the density and inductance of the magnetically permeable material are flow connected to the flow path.
