## TL;DR

This paper provides a dataset of high-speed videos showing how metal powders move through thin pipes using air, along with pressure and light sensor data.

## Contribution

The novelty is the detailed dataset of high-speed video and sensor data for tracking individual metal powder particles in pneumatic conveying.

## Key findings

- Each particle in the video recordings is individually distinguishable and trackable.
- The dataset includes pressure and photodiode recordings alongside the high-speed videos.
- The experimental setup is described with suggestions for potential improvements.

## Abstract

Many industrial processes require a consistent material flow in the form of powders, typically achieved through pneumatic conveying. This work presents a dataset of high-speed video recordings capturing the horizontal pneumatic conveying of metallic powders in thin capillary pipes. Additionally, pressure and photodiode recordings are included. The experimental setup is described in detail, with suggestions for potential improvements. In the video recordings, each particle is individually distinguishable and can be tracked across frames.
