Abstract

A sensor and a method for determining the basis weight of a coating material containing CaCO.sub.3 on a substrate is described. The determined basis weight is insensitive to changes in the amount of substrate material underlying the coating. Signals from the sensor may be used in the control of a coating mechanism to provide a coating having a uniform basis weight.
