Abstract
A selected number of data samples is taken around the periphery of the wall of a container to determine the voltages corresponding to the thinnest and thickest wall locations. These two voltages are then converted to dimensions and a minimum to maximum ratio is calculated using these two dimensions. Where this ratio is lower than a minimum settable value, the bottle will be rejected.
