Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an industrial textile ( 1 ) for a drying process. The industrial textile ( 1 ) comprises a first surface (P) and a second surface (R); and longitudinal edge portions (EP 1 , EP 2 ) and a centre portion (MP) between the edge portions (EP). The industrial textile comprises a sensor ( 2, 4 ). The present invention also relates to a method for measuring a condition on a surface of the industrial textile ( 1 ) and a use of the industrial textile ( 1 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An industrial textile ( 1 ) for a drying process on a paper, board or pulp machine, the industrial textile ( 1 ) comprising a first surface (P) and a second surface (R); and longitudinal edge portions (EP 1 , EP 2 ) and a centre portion (MP) between the edge portions, at least one of the edge portions (EP 1 , EP 2 ) of the industrial textile comprises a sensor ( 2 ) wherein the sensor is a label reacting to the condition to be measured, the condition to be measured is temperature or relative humidity, and the label comprises a range of marks, each mark corresponding to a certain range of the condition to be measured in such a manner that when the condition to be measured exceeds the range of the certain mark, the mark changes its colour permanently. 2. The industrial textile according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the edge portions (EP 1 , EP 2 ) comprise at least one sensor ( 2 ) attached to either surface (P, R) of the industrial textile ( 1 ). 3. The industrial textile according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor ( 2 ) has a protective cover ( 3 ). 4. The industrial textile according to claim 3 , wherein the protective cover ( 3 ) is a heat resistant adhesive tape. 5. A method for measuring a condition on a surface of an industrial textile ( 1 ), the industrial textile supporting a material to be dried in a drying process on a paper, board or pulp machine, comprising: providing at least one of the edge portions (EP 1 , EP 2 ) of the industrial textile with a sensor ( 2 ) which is a label reacting to the condition to be measured, the condition to be measured is temperature or relative humidity, and the label comprises a range of marks, each mark corresponding to a certain range of the condition to be measured in such a manner that when the condition to be measured exceeds the range of the certain mark, the mark changes its colour permanently, letting the drying process to run a period until a stoppage, and reading the condition during the stoppage. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises covering the sensor ( 2 ) with a protective cover ( 3 ). 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the sensor ( 2 ) is covered with a heat resistant adhesive tape.
