Fluid state detection system

Abstract

A fluid state detection system that enables the state of a fluid to be readily detected is provided. A fluid state detection system for detecting the state of a fluid in a container includes a measurement window formed in a wall of the container, and a fluid state detection apparatus for detecting the state of the fluid. The fluid state detection apparatus includes a transmission unit, a receiving unit, and a detection unit. The transmission unit emits electromagnetic waves via the measurement window toward the fluid. The receiving unit receives reflected waves, transmitted waves, or re-radiated scattered waves of the electromagnetic waves emitted from the transmission unit via the measurement window toward the fluid. The detection unit detects the state of the fluid based on the electromagnetic waves emitted from the transmission unit and the electromagnetic waves received by the receiving unit.
