ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for detecting the presence of the type of debris in a fluid system. The apparatus detects the presence of debris, measures the accumulation and identifies the specific types of the debris. A plurality of sensors, connected in a bridge detecting circuit, are assembled in the apparatus in the fluid flow, each of said sensors are tuned to a specific preselected frequency which is characteristic of one material type of the debris. A variable frequency power supply is connected to the detecting bridge for exciting the bridge. Switching means are provided external to the detecting apparatus for selecting one of said sensors as the detecting leg of the bridge. When the sensor has been selected, the bridge is excited at the resonant frequency of the selected sensor for identifying a specific material type of the debris.
