An apparatus for measuring suspension comprises an image capturing device for capturing at least one measurement image of the suspension, the at least one measurement image presenting at least one solid particle; an information processing unit which receives the at least one measurement image and determines a state of attachment of the solid particles of the suspension to each other on the basis of pattern recognition applied to the at least one measurement image. The information processing unit determines, on the basis of the state of the attachment of the solid particles of the suspension, suspension data associated with at least one of the following: at least one process control chemical, at least one fiber property, at least one fines property, a relation between solid particles of different sizes, formation, and water content. |
