摘要:
Two measuring coils are disposed on the oncoming and outrunning sides of a rolling mill stand respectively and an electrically conductive workpiece passes through the coils and stand. One oscillator including each coil responds to a pass of the workpiece through the associated coil to change in oscillation frequency. A difference between changes in frequency of both oscillators or a ratio between them is measured to provide a measure of a difference or a ratio between cross sectional areas of the workpiece in the planes of both coils.
