The present invention refers to a method for dynamic measurement of a nip between two units (5, 6, 7, 10, 12). The invention also refers to a Roller Nip Gauge. Said units may be rollers (10, 12), cylinders (5, 6, 7) or a surface having a non-circular cross section. The length (n) and pressure of the nip is measured by clocking the length of time at least two pressure sensitive elements (3, 4, 27, 28) are passing within the nip. In some embodiment also a temperature sensor (26) is provided. The Roller Nip Gauge comprises a housing (1, 14) and a tongue (2, 15) extending from the housing (1, 14). Two pressure sensitive elements (3, 4; 27, 28) are arranged at a distance (L) from each other at the outer end of the tongue (2, 15). |
