Abstract:
A device for measuring the diameter and/or the wall thickness of a strand that has a substantially circular cross-section and is guided through the device by guide means in the direction of its longitudinal axis includes at least one transmitter for transmitting terahertz radiation, at least one radiation optical system that conducts the terahertz radiation to a strand guided by the device, at least one reflector for the terahertz radiation arranged opposite a transmitter and behind the strand in the radiation direction of the terahertz radiation, at least one receiver for receiving the terahertz radiation reflected at the strand and/or the reflector, and an evaluation apparatus that determines the diameter and/or the wall thickness of the strand using the measuring signals received by the at least one receiver. A corresponding method is also described.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for measuring at least one of a diameter or a wall thickness of a strand with a substantially circular cross-section in which the strand is guided through a measuring device in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the strand, the method comprising:\n transmitting terahertz radiation by a transmitter; directing the terahertz radiation transmitted by the transmitter toward the strand by a radiation optical system, wherein the terahertz radiation transmitted by the transmitter is reflected by at least one of the strand or a reflector lying opposite the transmitter and behind the strand in a radiation direction of the terahertz radiation emitted by the transmitter; receiving, by a receiver, measuring signals comprising the terahertz radiation emitted by the transmitter and reflected by the at least one of the strand or the reflector; and determining, by an evaluation apparatus, the at least one of the diameter or the wall thickness of the strand using the measuring signals received by the receiver.
