<p>An apparatus and method for measuring the caliper of papermaking fabric (P) in a non-contacting manner on a papermaking machine is disclosed wherein a displacement meter unit (B) supported on a stand (40) adjacent a run of the papermaking fabric (P) in such a manner that the pair of opposed displacement meters (78, 80), may be aligned perpendicular to the opposing fabric surfaces for measuring their displacement. First and second displacement signals (88, 90) are generated which are processed to, provide a caliper signal representing the thickness of the fabric (P) which can be used to indicate its condition for dewatering performance. A universal coupling (48) mounts the displacement meter unit (B) on the stand (40) so that the apparatus may be aligned for different inclinations of fabric runs.</p> |
