Online Dielectric Constant Measurement

[DJK2]

Hello,

We have done some work in the lab to look at how the dielectric constant changes with isomer content. Its a 2 component mixture and the temperature corrected correlation looks quite good.

Now we would like to implement this on the plant but we are having difficulty finding a supplier. Does such a probe exist for industry that could continuously measure dielectric constant?

Thanks for your help.

There were dielectric cure monitors developed and sold commercially. These monitored various parameters, including dielectric constant, of a composite as the resin reacted.

Here is one link:

Looks like $20,000 can buy you one.

Thanks for this. I would never have found it just searching myself.

Need to think about how it could be placed in an ATEX zone.
