  • Publication number: 20150096367
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring or determining the level or amount of multiple immiscible liquids of different densities in containers utilize multiple floats, with each float having a density less than the density of the liquid to be measured but greater than the density of the next less dense liquid (or fluid) in the container. In this fashion, the position of each float can be determined and used to determine the levels of the various liquids using a single three-terminal potentiometer. A method includes measuring first and second electrical signals corresponding to first and second locations of actuation of the potentiometer. A system includes a three terminal potentiometer capable of magnetic actuation at two locations, a first float configured to magnetically actuate the potentiometer at a first location, and a second float configured to magnetically actuate the potentiometer at a second location that differs from the first location.
