Dielectric Material Test

Keysight Technologies and MWI Laboratories

Accurate testing of the dielectric properties of powders, liquids and pliable materials

When testing the dielectric properties of powders, liquids or pliable substances, measurement uncertainties can be introduced due to the movement of the material under test.

A new dielectric measurement technique from MWI Laboratories allows the characterization of powder, soil, or an aqueous solution within a well-defined RF dielectric containment fixture that eliminates the shifting of the material during measurement. It also reduces the requirement for direct contact between the test probe and the material under test.

The new measurement system comprises a Keysight Technologies E4990A impedance analyzer, a MWI 16541b dielectric test probe and calibration kit, a MWI_PD-14 dielectric containment fixture, and a laptop computer pre-loaded with TMACS data collection combined with MWI_PDS-14 reduction and Microsoft Excel software.

Researchers at MWI Laboratories originally developed the test method for studying and improving quality control standards when measuring the dielectric properties of ceramic powders and mud mixtures before they were fired in kilns to produce ceramic heat shields.

The dielectric test system uses advanced mathematical “Morphology Modeling” techniques to produce a detailed model that allows the user to determine the level of uncertainty of the measured results. The technique also provides a better understanding of the detailed effects between the material under test, the waveform produced by the test probe, and the surrounding environment.

  • Dielectric testing of powders, liquids and pliable materials
  • Containment fixture eliminates movement of material under test
  • Reduces measurement uncertainty and the requirement for direct contact between probe and material
  • Used with Keysight E4990A Impedance Analyzer
  • Aerospace, agricultural, automotive, construction, food/drug, oil/gas and mining industries
  • Accurate dielectric measurements of powders, liquids and pliable materials

Dielectric Material Test

The system can be used in applications in aerospace, agricultural, automotive, construction, food/drug, oil/gas and mining industries. It can be used to measure powders such as ceramics, salts, medical powders, crushed or sifted soils; liquids such as food, oils, paints, saline solutions, water; and pliable materials such as mud, putty, sludge etc. MWI also has test solutions for hardened materials using Keysight’s Vector Network Analyzers and portable Field Fox Network Analyzers.

With the new dielectric test system from MWI Laboratories and Keysight you can reduce the measurement uncertainty when testing powders, liquids and other pliable substances.
