Description
Vorrichtung zur Messung des Feuchtigkeitsgehaltes von hygroskopischen Stoffen.
Zur Messung des Feuchtigkeitsgehaltes von holz, Papier und andern Stoffen kommen hauptsächlich folgende Methoden in Betracht:
1. Austroeknung einer Probe des Stoffes und Bestimmung des Gewichtsverlustes.
2. Messung des elektrisehen Widerstandes durch Auflegen oder Einpressen von Elektroden.
3. ; Messung der dielektrischen Eigenschaf- ten des Stoffes, indem der Stoff in ein elektrisehes Gleich oder Wechselfeld gebracht wird.
Elektrische Leitfähigkeit und dielektrisehe Eigenschaften hängen stark vom Feuehtig keitsgebali ab. Der Zusammenhang zwischen diesen elektrischen Eigenschaften und dem Feuehtigkeitsgehalt ist für viele Stoffe bestimmt und in der Fachliteratur publiziert worden.
Für die Messung nach der dritten Methode benutzt man bekanntlich folgende Einrichtung: Von einem Generator wird eine Wechselspannung erzeugt und an die Platten eines Kondensators angelegt, welcher den zu messenden Stoff als Dielektrikum enthält. Je nach Feuchtigkeitsgehalt ändern sich die Dielek trizitätskonstante und der Verlustwinkel und damit die Bestimmungsgrössen des den Kon densator enthaltenden elektrischen Kreises.
Diese Änderungen werden gemessen und an einer geeichten Skala direkt in Prozent Feuchtigkeit abgelesen.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft nun eine derartige Vorrichtung, bei der jedoch die Platten des Mcsskondensators derart angeordnet sind, dass sie in der Betriebslage der Vorrichtung auf derselben Seite des zu untersuchenden Stoffes liegen.
Die Kondensatorplatten sind dabei vorzugsweise unterteilt und auf die ganze Auflagefläche des Instrumentes verteilt. Diese Anordnung gestattet durch einseitiges Auflegen des Apparates eine gleichzeitige Messung des Feuchtigkeitsgehaltes an mehreren Stellen des Stoffes, wobei der Mittelwert dieser Feuchtigkeiten angezeigt wird. Der Stoff muss also nur von einer Seite zugänglich sein; es kann zum Beispiel die Feuchtigkeit an fertigen Möbeln und verlegten Böden gemessen werden, ohne dass die Oberfläche verletzt wird.
Auf den beiliegenden Zeichnungen ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes veranschaulicht. Die Fig. 1 zeigt den Kondensator von unten und Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt in der Achse I-I der Fig. 1, wobei in Fig. 2 der zu messende Stoff auch mitgezeichnet ist. In den beiden Figuren bezeichnen a und b die Kondensatorplatten verschiedener Polarität, c den Stoff, dessen Feuchtigkeit gemessen werden soll, und d den zwischen den Platten und dem zu untersuchenden Stoff noch vorhandenen und von Luft oder einem andern Dielektrikum ausgefüllten Raum. Die Kondensatorplatten werden durch eine Isolier platte e in ihrer gegenseitigen Lage fixiert.
Die Linien f deuten den Verlauf der elektri schen Kraftlinien an.
Device for measuring the moisture content of hygroscopic substances.
The following methods can mainly be used to measure the moisture content of wood, paper and other materials:
1. Drying out a sample of the substance and determining the weight loss.
2. Measurement of the electrical resistance by placing or pressing in electrodes.
3.; Measurement of the dielectric properties of the substance by bringing the substance into an electrical direct or alternating field.
Electrical conductivity and dielectric properties depend heavily on the fire resistance level. The relationship between these electrical properties and the fire resistance has been determined for many substances and has been published in the specialist literature.
As is well known, the following device is used for measurements according to the third method: An alternating voltage is generated by a generator and applied to the plates of a capacitor which contains the substance to be measured as a dielectric. Depending on the moisture content, the dielectric constant and the loss angle and thus the parameters of the electrical circuit containing the capacitor change.
These changes are measured and read off directly as a percentage of moisture on a calibrated scale.
The present invention now relates to such a device, in which, however, the plates of the Mcsskondensators are arranged such that they are in the operating position of the device on the same side of the substance to be examined.
The capacitor plates are preferably subdivided and distributed over the entire support surface of the instrument. By placing the device on one side, this arrangement allows the moisture content to be measured simultaneously at several points on the material, with the mean value of these moisture levels being displayed. The material must therefore only be accessible from one side; For example, the humidity on finished furniture and installed floors can be measured without damaging the surface.
An exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. 1 shows the capacitor from below and FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section along the axis I-I of FIG. 1, the substance to be measured also being drawn in FIG. 2. In the two figures, a and b denote the capacitor plates of different polarity, c the substance whose moisture is to be measured, and d the space still present between the plates and the substance to be examined and filled with air or another dielectric. The capacitor plates are fixed in their mutual position by an insulating plate e.
The lines f indicate the course of the electrical lines of force.
