초록

Measurement of liquid level in storage and processing vessels, tanks, wells, reservoirs and hoppers is commonly needed. The several different ways to measure the liquid level of oil or water tank have been provided such as an electrostatic capacity, a supersonic waves and an optical science etc. In the study, we have constructed the stable and efficient measurement system to measure the level of liquid at real-time and to get accurate measurement of the maximum and minimum level of the tank. For this purpose, we suggest double sensing methods by adopting both capacitive and optical sensing. The experimental results, presented in this paper, illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method under different sensing methods.
