A device for testing the quality of rope-like materials in the form of yarns, rollings, fiber bands and the like employs a microwave resonator and devices for determining the displacement of the resonant frequency and the widening of the resonance curve due to the rope-like material present in the microwave resonator. Mechanical devices are provided for transporting the rope-like materials through the measuring volume of the microwave resonator. The microwave field is homogeneous in the measuring volume and the measuring device is a microwave generator constructed for measuring the mass per length and the moisture of the rope-like materials. Sensitivity of the device is improved by using metallic elements to concentrate the electromagnetic field in the measuring volume.

Device for testing the quality of rope-like materials

The device for measuring the mass and/or the moisture of a material running through a spinning preparation machine is distinguished in that it has a microwave resonator () and associated adapted measurement electronics. The method for measuring the mass and/or the moisture of a material running through a spinning preparation machine is distinguished in that the measurement is carried out with the aid of microwaves.

Device and method for detecting the mass and the moisture content for spinning preparation machines

A process and a device for determining the moisture content of the material of a test object using microwaves. The properties of a resonator such as resonance frequency, resonance half-width value and amplitude of the resonance can be measured using a digitally tunable quartz-stable PLL-controlled microwave generator. By special processing of the variations in the results due to detuning of the resonator when it is being filled with a product, the moisture content of the material in the product can be measured exactly, independently of the density of the material and largely independently of the type of material and of changes in additives. The same measurement equipment can be used, without any rearrangement of the hardware, both in the ppm range and up to moisture contents greater than 80%. In addition, there are no special requirements concerning the shape of the sample.
