Method and apparatus for monitoring solvent content of ceramic green sheets.

摘要

The invention monitors solvent content in a ceramic green sheet (14). The green sheet is partially supported by rods (24, 26) so that a portion of the sheet is free to sag under the influence of gravity, with or without any additional force to enhance or minimize the sag. A sensor (32) measures the rate of sag of the portion of the sheet free to sag, and this rate of sag is compared to a correlation standard of rate of sag versus solvent content of green sheets to determine acceptability.
