Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2752935A1] The invention concerns a method for measuring at least one dimension of a conductive volume, in which a measuring sensor (10) is placed inside a cavity present in a conductive or non-conductive homogeneous body (11), this cavity having large dimensions and high resistivity compared to the respective dimensions and resistivity of the volume to be measured, the sensor having features which vary according to the immediate volume in which it is found, this medium being a medium with electromagnetic losses. The invention also concerns a device for implementing this method.
