A moisture measurement and control system controlling the amount of moisture in paper being manufactured by papermaking machinery, for example, linerboard, utilizes a standard scanning moisture sensor to calibrate a nonscanning moisture sensor to thus provide very fast and accurate moisture measurements for each zone of the moving paper. The measurement is communicated to a fast response time moisture profiler, for example, of the quartz heater type. In addition, the nonscanning moisture measurement unit, which utilizes capacitive electrodes, has improved accuracy due to its electrode arrangement and signal processing technique. |
