Abstract

A microwave instrument for non-destructive testing of the homogeneity of supercalendar rollers used in paper mills is described. The senor consists of a flat coaxial transmission line a half wavelength long. A sensitivity of more than 0.1% is achieved in measuring small changes in the dielectric constant. Measurement of absolute values of the dielectric constant is also possible.
