ABSTRACT:
A liquid detector utilizing fiber optics, by which the presence of oils and various solvents can be detected. The detector is internally safe because the optical fiber is an insulator and may therefore be used to monitor liquids involving fire or explosive hazards. The detector may be used to detect leakage when storing oils and solvents, because it reacts most rapidly with these liquids. The detector makes use of capillarity of a sensing pick-up thereof, the optical reflection coefficient of the pick-up material changing as the pick-up material comes into contact with the liquid to be detected.
