Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel präsentiert eine Übersicht über die Anwendung kapazitiver Sensorik zur Ermittlung von Kenngrößen in Flüssigkeiten. Als Beispiele werden die Bestimmung der Zusammensetzung von Mehrphasenströmungen, die nicht-invasive Bestimmung von Füllständen sowie die Ermittlung von Durchflussgeschwindigkeiten gezeigt.
