INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Measurement Probe

Precision sensor for measuring moisture content in leather materials during industrial processing.

Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized measurement probe designed for leather moisture content analyzers, utilizing advanced sensing technology to detect and quantify water content in leather hides and products with high accuracy. This component is critical for quality control in leather manufacturing, ensuring optimal moisture levels for processing, finishing, and storage.
Working Principle
Operates on the principle of electrical impedance or capacitance measurement. The probe applies a low-voltage signal to the leather surface, measuring the dielectric constant or conductivity, which correlates directly with moisture content. Changes in electrical properties are converted into precise moisture percentage readings through calibrated algorithms.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L housing, platinum or gold-plated electrodes, ceramic insulation, high-temperature resistant polymers (PEEK or PTFE) for seals, corrosion-resistant coatings.
