Method and device for determining the filling level for the ascertainment of the simmering process of mineral oil products

Abstract

The invention describes a method and a device for determining the filling level and can be applied, in particular, for the ascertainment of the simmering process of mineral oil products. The basis of the method is that by means of at least two stationary sensors a first filling level (Level 1) and at least a second filling level (Level 2) are defined and the number of drops required for reaching Level 1 and Level 2 is recorded, by way of a further sensor the number of drops dropped in during the simmering process is counted and, by way of calculation, the partial volume at the location x and the filling level are determined. The device is characterized, wherein for the purpose of level recording in a measuring cylinder ( 4 ) in a measuring arrangement a first stationary sensor (L 1 ) and at least a second stationary sensor (L 2 ) as well as a metering sensor (LT) are arranged, where the positions of the sensors (L 1 ,L 2 ) represent a defined relation to the filling level in the measuring cylinder ( 4 ) and the metering sensor (LT) records the number of drops ( 5 ) dropped in during the simmering process.
