Sensor Systems
12.7 Cone-Plate and Plate-Plate Sensor Systems
Application
This sensor systems are predominantly used for measure-
ments with highly viscous liquids and for difficult to clean
samples with due to need for only a small sample volume.
Their application is limited when the sample contains coarse
particles and fiber strings.
Cone-Plate sensors call for a higher precision, both in
manufacturing and in handling in order to achieve true mea-
surement results. The sensor systems differ only in the cone/
plate radius and in the cone angle.
12.8 Cone-Plate Sensor Systems
The cone radius and the cone angle are the typical charac-
teristics of the cone-plate sensor system.
