Abstract: A coaxial probe is for a TDR fill-level measuring instrument, in which probe the inner conductor is connected to the outer conductor via a terminating resistor. The terminating resistor is mounted in a cylindrical recess in the inner conductor and sealed with respect to the measuring environment. In this way, the measurement of the fill level in the region of the probe end can be improved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a guide-through assembly (4) for a filling level sensor working according to the principle of delay measurement of guided electromagnetic waves or for a capacitive filling level sensor, which for sealing the interior of the vessel against the interior of the sensor has no elastomeric sealing materials and in particular no elastomeric o-rings seals. This can be ensured by precisely machining the components which are essentially concentrically arranged in the guide-through assembly (4) on their circumferential surfaces (10, 11), so that in an assembled state the components arranged in the guide-through assembly (4), such as the interior conductor (7) and the dielectric materials (9, 12, 14) surrounding the interior conductor (7), contact each other at their mutually adjacent circumferential surfaces (11) in a sealing and positive engagement, so that additional sealing elements are not needed.

Abstract: A device for use in measuring stratified fluid levels in a container is disclosed. The device has a microwave transceiver sensor head attached to a waveguide sensor rod which is enclosed by a gauge tube. The rod end tubes are comprised of sections which allow them to be assembled or disassembled in a close quarters environment. The tube has a plurality of circumferentially and longitudinally spaced slots providing for the equalization of stratified fluids within the tube. The rod is generally radially centered in the tube by the use of a plurality of spacers which reside in notches in the rod. The spacers are adapted to not penetrate the slots in the tube. The rod can be removed from the tube for cleaning without draining the tank. Additionally, once the rod is removed from the tube, a cleaner brush or scraper can be used to remove any barnacles or other debris from within the tube and the longitudinal slots in the tube.

Abstract: A spacer element for a spacer for a coaxial inner conductor for a measuring device is stated. The spacer element comprises a plate with a circular outside contour and a U-shaped incision, wherein the circular outside contour comprises an external radius, and wherein the U-shaped incision comprises a semicircular region with an internal radius. Furthermore, the plate comprises a surface region, wherein the outside contour and the U-shaped incision are designed such that when at least two spacer elements are arranged such that the circular outside contours are essentially in alignment and such that in each case a surface region of one plate rests against a surface region of the other plate, a spacer with a circular opening is formed, which opening comprises the internal radius of the semicircular region. In this arrangement the outside contour and the opening form concentric circles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a level meter with a waveguide for guiding an electromagnetic wave, such that the waveguide is designed as a hollow conductor and has a forward terminal section; with a wave adapter of a dielectrical material, such that the wave adapter has an outer circumferential area and partially projects with this outer circumferential area into a hole in the terminal section of the waveguide and partially protrudes from this terminal section, and such that the wave adapter has dimensions that allow it to adapt the wave transition of a wave leaving or entering the terminal section of the waveguide; and with a metallic transitional material in an area between the wave adapter and the waveguide, such that the transitional material assumes the form of a metallized part that extends over an area greater than area of direct contact between the outer circumference of the wave adapter and the waveguide.
