Abstract
A device for detecting an object conveyed through a measuring region comprises a transmission apparatus configured to emit measuring radiation onto the outer contour of the object. The measuring radiation comprises a frequency in a range of one of gigahertz and terahertz. A protective mesh is positioned between the measuring region and at least one of the transmission apparatus and the receiving apparatus. The protective mesh is transparent for the measuring radiation and permeable to as gas.

A device for detecting an object conveyed through a measuring region, the device for detecting the object comprising:
- a transmission apparatus configured to emit measuring radiation onto an Outer contour of the object, wherein the measuring radiation comprises a frequency in a range of one of gigahertz and terahertz;
- a receiving apparatus configured to receive the measuring radiation reflected by the object;
- and
- a protective mesh positioned between the measuring region and at least one of the transmission apparatus and the receiving apparatus, wherein the protective mesh is transparent to the measuring radiation and permeable to a gas.
A method for detecting an object, the method comprising:
- emitting measuring radiation onto an outer contour of the object, wherein the radiation comprises a frequency in a range of one of gigahertz and terahertz;
- receiving the measuring radiation reflected by the object;
- determining measurement values using the reflected measuring radiation;
- and
- determining at least one of:
- (1) a diameter;
- (2) a wall thickness;
- and (3) an outer contour of the object based on the measurement values.
