Abstract
Systems for measuring liquid levels in a tank can include a lever arm pivotably attached to an inner wall of the tank at a first end of the lever arm. A float is mounted on the lever arm at a location spaced apart from the first end of the lever arm. An inclinometer is mounted on a lever arm to measure an angle of the lever arm relative to horizontal. A processor is operable to calculate a height of a surface of the fluid in the container based on the angle of the lever arm relative to horizontal.
