Abstract
A device for determining the relative properties of stratified fluids, such as the interface between oil and water having plural fluid character recording stations with sensors on an elongated member. Means are provided to clear the recording stations to preclude contamination of the sensors by fluid from other strata.
Claims11
A device for determining the relative location of stratified fluids of different character when inserted through the stratified fluids comprising:
- an elongated member having plural fluid character recording stations disposed therealong;
- sensing means associated with each of said stations for determining the properties of the fluid proximate thereto when said probe is positioned through said fluids;
- clearing means movably associated with each of said sensing means to preclude contamination thereof by fluid from other strata;
- and
- means to determine the fluid characteristics recorded by said stations.
