MultiPerm NT.2002

On-line Porosity Measurement System

 

Description

Porosity measurement requires that a known air flow rate be drawn through a known sheet cross sectional area with a known pressure differential.  The MultiPerm system performs this task by measuring the amount of time required to draw a known volume of air through a known sheet area while monitoring the pressure differential placed on the sheet.  In many respects it is similar to a Gurley laboratory porosity measurement instrument.

The measurement principle of the MultiPerm on-line porosity measurement system is an innovative development invented by Value Systems in 1993 that supersedes prior technology used on analogue systems. This principle recognises the importance of change in pressure that occurs during measurement and that varies from grade to grade and from one product type to another. MultiPerm  provides innovative sheet sensor contacting technology also invented by Value Systems. This technology ensures integrity of the air bearing between the surface of the sheet and the face of the sensor eliminating the possibility of extraneous airflow from affecting porosity measurement.

Basic System components

The MultiPerm system has three distinct components:

 

                       

 

1)     a measurement sensor which contacts the sheet of paper providing a specific area through which air is drawn for measurement, and a vacuum seal about the measurement area to minimize leakage between the sensor and sheet.  The sensor is mounted on a pneumatic cylinder to insert/retract the sensor from the sheet.

2)     a measurement cabinet which contains pneumatic valves, control electronics, a measurement bellows to provide a know volumetric displacement, a pressure sensor to measure the differential pressure placed on the sheet, and a vacuum regulator to provide vacuum for the measurement sensor vacuum seal.

3)     an engineering workstation which directs the measurement cabinet to perform its operations, and monitors signals from the cabinet to determine the measurement cycle time and differential pressure.
