Instrument to measure the level of oil/fat in foodstuff has a sensor linked to an electronic measurement unit, through a carrier with electrical conductors, using a condenser as the sensor

摘要

The instrument (1) to measure the level of fat and oil in foodstuff has a sensor to register the electrical properties of the test food. The sensor is fitted to a carrier (21) with electrical conductors linked to an electronic circuit with a display. At least one electrical conductor (3) is with (21) as part of the electronic measurement unit (32). The sensor is an interdigital condenser. The instrument (1) to measure the level of fat and oil in foodstuff has a sensor to register the electrical properties of the test food. The sensor is fitted to a carrier, with one or more electrical conductors linked to an electronic circuit with an indicator to display the readings. At least one electrical conductor (3) is in one piece with a carrier section, as part of the electronic measurement unit (32), in one piece with the carrier (21). The sensor is an interdigital condenser. The carrier section is preferably of a non-conductive ceramic material. The sensor (2) is bonded to the instrument neck (12) by an adhesive (4), which also acts as a seal (41).
