A Bimodal Scalable Electrical Sensor for Measuring the Thickness of Insertable Multilayer Media
The thickness of insertable multilayer media is an important parameter in industrial processes, but the thickness measurement remains inaccurate when various layers consist of both conductive and nonconductive media. To address the issue, a bimodal scalable electrical sensor is designed, and it comprises both electrical resistance tomography (ERT) sensors and the electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) sensors. ERT can measure conductive medium whereas ECT can do nonconductive one. Moreover, the sensor is scalable to obtain more accurate measurements. According to the structures of both ECT and ERT, we propose the effective computation methods for measuring the thickness of multilayer media, and the advantages of the bimodal and scalable sensor are verified by simulations and experiments. Consequently, the new sensor and the related computation methods can serve as an effective and practical basis for measuring the thickness of layered media in broader industrial fields.
