Abstract

Abstract A procedure for measuring unit area weights (base weights) in materials combinations comprising a base material, thereupon a precoating, and upon which latter there is a surface coating or coatings. The materials combination is irradiated with x-rays which excite the characteristic x-ray radiation of a substance in the precoat, the intensity of which is measured above and below the coated base material, in addition to which the absorption in the materials combination of the primary radiation from the radiation source is measured, whereby from the mutually independent results of measurement obtained the unit area weights of the different courses are calculated.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
Improvement in a procedure for measuring unit area weights in material combinations having a base material, thereupon a precoat and upon which latter there is a surfacing coat or coats, wherein the improvement comprises that the materials combination is irradiated with x-rays which excite the characteristic x-ray radiation of a substance in the precoat, the intensity of which is measured above and below the coated base material, in addition to which the absorption in the materials combination of the primary radiation from the radiation source is measure whereby from the mutually independent results of measurement obtained the unit area weights of the different courses are calculated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 106 words
Improvement in a procedure for measuring unit area weights in material combinations having a base material, thereupon a precoat and upon which latter there is a surfacing coat or coats, wherein the improvement comprises that the materials combination is irradiated with x-rays which excite the characteristic x-ray radiation of a substance in the precoat, the intensity of which is measured above and below the coated base material, in addition to which the absorption in the materials combination of the primary radiation from the radiation source is measure whereby from the mutually independent results of measurement obtained the unit area weights of the different courses are calculated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
Procedure according to claim 1, characterized in that the materials combination is cardboard or paper overlayed with a CaCO 3 precoat and upon this latter as surface coating, caolin.
