A thickness monitor based on B-absorption/scattering and fast detection techniques with a plastic scintillator are described. The precision in measurement over short time periods is discussed. A limit of 1 % is set on measurements on newsprints due to the micro structure of the paper. A technique is suggested for reduction of the uncertainty in the measurement by the use of a two threshold technique.
