  • Top of fluid detection system
    Patent number: 12761633
    Abstract: Provided is a process that includes determining, by a computer system and using a volumetric flow sensor, that a target volume of a fluid has been pumped by a pump through a first leg of a hole system that is representable by a U-tube. The process includes determining, by the computer system and using a pressure sensor at the pump, whether a first pressure reading of the pump is substantially equal to a target pressure. The process further includes notifying, by the computer system and in response to the first pressure reading being substantially equal to the target pressure, that a target top of fluid in a second leg of the hole system has been satisfied.
