  • Determining plastic or cellulose levels in composites
    Patent number: 11965737
    Abstract: A non-destructive and non-contact test system quantifies the cellulose and/or plastic content in a given composite material board sample using capacitive sensors. The system includes a ground plate and a capacitive sensor probe system with programmed instructions to calibrate to a predetermined dielectric, determine, in a composite board placed in between the capacitive sensor and the ground plate, an equivalent thickness of material emitting the predetermined dielectric, and convert the equivalent thickness into a weight percentage of the material in the board.
    Type: Grant

  • DETERMINING PLASTIC OR CELLULOSE LEVELS IN COMPOSITES
    Publication number: 20220205774
    Abstract: In accordance with some aspects of the present disclosure, a system is disclosed. The system provides a non-destructive and non-contact test to quantify the cellulose and/or plastic content in a given composite material board sample by the use of capacitive sensors. The system includes a ground plate and a capacitive sensor probe system with programmed instructions to calibrate to a predetermined dielectric, determine, in a composite board placed in between the capacitive sensor and the ground plate, an equivalent thickness of material emitting the predetermined dielectric, and convert the equivalent thickness into a weight percentage of the material in the board.
