Abstract: Disclosed is a TDR measuring apparatus for determining the dielectric constant and material properties derived therefrom of a medium flowing through a pipeline. The apparatus includes signal generation electronics which generate TDR measurement signals, transmitting and receiving electronics, a coupling-in/coupling-out apparatus which couples the TDR measurement signals into and out of an electrically conductive measuring probe of a predefined length, and control/evaluation electronics which use the propagation time of the TDR measurement signals to determine the dielectric constant. The measuring probe is arranged in an electrically insulated manner outside of the pipeline.

Abstract: The invention includes a device for determining the moisture or conductivity of a medium in a container. A measurement probe is plunged into the medium and consists of a conductive material, a conductive rod, and a first feed-through component designed such that the conductive rod can be fastened to an electrically conductive wall or holder. A rod of a non-conductive material and a second feed-through component are provided, where the non-conductive rod can be fastened to the wall, the conductive rod and the non-conductive rod are dimensioned and oriented that the measurement probe is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container and a signal-processing unit designed such that high-frequency measurement signals are conducted via the measurement line to the measurement probe and that the moisture or the conductivity of the medium is determined by means of a TDR method.
