METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY MEASURING THE FILLING MATERIAL IN RUNNING-MATERIAL WEBS, PARTICULARLY PAPER SHEETS

摘要

By applying infra-red radiation as well as beta-radiation measurement techniques combined with a characteristic x-radiation measurement technique using a mono-energetic and stable x-ray source, it is possible to carry out a very accurate selective filler measurement on a moving paper web containing two fillers, provided that at least one of the two fillers has a distinct absorption band in the infra-red radiation range. The web is irradiated by the individual measurement rays, and the detected measurement signals resulting from the irradiations of the web are processed in a micro-computer.
