摘要 |
<p>The invention provides a measuring device for measuring soot deposition, said device having a measuring probe (3) for measuring the quantity of soot deposited on a collection surface (2) of an elongate dielectric substrate, said probe including detection electrodes (6, 7) that are arranged in adjacent manner and that are for connecting to an electronic system that is capable of evaluating the quantity of soot deposited on the collection surface. In the invention, the device includes, for at least one detection electrode (6, 7), a measurement loop (B1) that includes said at least one detection electrode (6, 7) and that is connected to a detection system for detecting the variation in the electric resistance of said measurement loop, so as to determine the operating state of said detection electrode.</p> |
