Abstract: A liquid level sensing probe includes a glass or ceramic thermally conductive housing which is molded around a positive temperature coefficient thermistor and a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The two thermistors are connected in parallel. The thermistor network thus formed is connected to a suitable measurement apparatus by leads which extend outside of the housing. The probe and the measurement apparatus detect and distinguish between a liquid environment as opposed to a gaseous one even at low temperatures and even after the power source has been shut off and subsequently switched on again.
