ABSTRACT:
A liquid level sensor comprises an elongated tubular member with two open ends contained in an elongated cylindrical container vessel in an arrangement wherein the two extremities of the elongated tubular member extending through the wall of the elongated cylindrical container vessel are respectively open to a liquid medium that rises through the elongated tubular member to the same level as the free surface thereof and to an ambient air above the free surface of the liquid medium; wherein the level of the liquid medium is determined from a natural frequency of flexural vibration of a section of the elongated tubular member partially filled with the liquid medium; which combination may further include another section of the elongated tubular member completely filled with the liquid medium, wherein the density of the liquid medium is determined from a natural frequency of flexural vibration of the section completely filled with the liquid medium and the level of the liquid medium is determined from a combination of the density of the liquid medium and the natural frequency of flexural vibration of the section of the elongated tubular member partially filled with the liquid medium.
