ABSTRACT:
A hydrocarbon sensor float for use in detecting the presence of hydrocarbons on the surface of a liquid provides an elongated floatation member having a top end and a bottom end and also having a cavity located centrally therealong and extending completely therethrough, a sensor assembly including a sensor and at least one electrical conductor coupled to the sensor, the sensor assembly being positioned in said floatation member for locating the sensor in the cavity for allowing access of the liquid thereto and for causing the electrical conductor to extend from the top end of the floatation member, and an attachment for a variable amount of weight at the bottom end of the floatation member for providing a variable floatation level for the member with respect to the liquid surface and likewise for the sensor for allowing adjustment of the detection depth for hydrocarbons at an installation site.
