Overview here


Measuring Level limits with the conical tip is independent of physical properties such as density, dielectric constant, conductivity, colour and refractive index. The characteristic curve in the diagram level above shows the switching property. The transition always occurs in a region (1.1), which never can be reached by any liquid or gas (the refractive index of all gases is <1.05 and of all liquids >1.25).
The interface measurement makes use of the dependency of refractive index caused by the rounded sensor tip.
