Abstract
Galvanic steel wire manufacturers have to fulfill several international regulations regarding zinc mass by surface unit. This article presents a new sensor to measure this parameter online. Details about the different parts of the system (sensor, circuitry, adjustment, and signal processing) are explained. Experimental results in a real manufacturing line are also presented. Online measurement conserves zinc mass and guarantees savings
