The axial solid concentration distributions were measured by using pressure inspection instrument in a glass bead fluidized bed. Set 1-3 belong to single size distribution and Set 4-5 have wide size distribution, respectively. The change trend of axial solid concentration distributions were investigated under different superficial gas velocities, particle size and particle density. The results showed that, with increasing superficial gas velocity, the solid concentrations in dense region decreased, but increased in dilute region. The glass bead particles whose particle size and particle density were smaller had good fluidization quality. It was also found that the joining of fine particles can significantly change the flow characteristics of the fluidized solid particles.
