Abstract: A baffle assembly for use in an ultrasonic system for measuring the level of a contained volume of liquid by calculating the density of the liquid by determining the dielectric constant thereof. The baffle assembly is located at the lower end of a stillwell located within the volume of liquid, The assembly includes a pair of concentric sleeves formed of electrically conductive material located to surround the lower end portion of the stillwell. The sleeves are uniformly radially spaced from one another so as to function as a capacitor so that the electrical capacitance between the respective opposed surfaces of the sleeves may be determined.

Abstract: A transducer assembly for an ultrasonic liquid level measuring device utilizing a piezoelectric crystal for generating ultrasonic pulses to be transmitted through a volume of liquid. The assembly includes an enclosure for the piezoelectric crystal assembly, that defines an interior space and a sealed opening for a cable. The enclosure is provided with a metallic layer that shields the entire interior space from electromagnetic interference. The assembly also includes a crystal housing assembly and a terminal block all located within the sealed enclosure.

Abstract: An intrusive fluid sensor mounting arrangement for a fluid container includes first and second tubes, the first tube being attachable to a wall of the container such that a first end of the first tube is open to the container exterior through the container wall and a second end of the first tube extends into the container; the second tube being sized to slide axially within the first tube between first and second positions; the second tube having a first end accessible from outside the container such that a sensor can be installed in and removed from the second tube; the second tube providing fluid communication between the sensor and fluid in the container when the second tube is in the first position, and substantially preventing fluid loss from the container when the second tube is in the second position.
