DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PROPERTIES OR THE FILLING LEVEL OF A MEDIUM IN A VESSEL

摘要

The present invention relates to a detection device for detecting properties of a medium (3) or the level of the medium (3) in a container (2) with a sensor unit (9) through which the medium flows with at least one pressure sensor (11) for detecting Pressure values of the medium in the sensor unit and for outputting a detection signal, wherein the sensor unit is insertable into a process system (P), in which the medium is located, and the process system at least the container for receiving the medium and a pump (5) for removal the medium from the container, and wherein the sensor unit is insertable between the container and the pump. One method relates to the detection of the pressure values and a corresponding evaluation for determining information as a measure of the level of the medium or other properties thereof.
