To achieve a reliable and accurate liquid-level detection, a differential pressure-based instrument is proposed in this article. The phase-sensitive demodulation of the signal is performed by the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) through a microcontroller. A good linearity in both ac and dc measurements has been observed. AC-based-level sensing demonstrated reliable and robust-level detection compared with dc, in both steady state conditions and while experiencing turbulence on the surface. In addition, thermal behavior of the proposed instrument is characterized and compensated, in order to evaluate its uncertainty as a liquid-level sensor. The obtained results show a combined uncertainty lower than 1 mm, which is mainly limited by sloshing conditions.

Abstract
To achieve a reliable and accurate liquid-level detection, a differential pressure-based instrument is proposed in this article. The phase-sensitive demodulation of the signal is performed by the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) through a microcontroller. A good linearity in both ac and dc measurements has been observed. AC-based-level sensing demonstrated reliable and robust-level detection compared with dc, in both steady state conditions and while experiencing turbulence on the surface. In addition, thermal behavior of the proposed instrument is characterized and compensated, in order to evaluate its uncertainty as a liquid-level sensor. The obtained results show a combined uncertainty lower than 1 mm, which is mainly limited by sloshing conditions.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
