Abstract
An ice thickness measurement sensoris provided to measure the thickness of ice extending from a circuit. The ice thickness measurement sensor comprises at least one capacitive sensor. The capacitance of the sensordepends on the thickness of ice covering the sensor, because the presence of the ice changes the permittivity. The ice thickness measurement sensor may be used in a fluid pipe, for example to measure the thickness of ice extending from the inner surface of the pipe.
