Abstract
A radio-frequency method for the highly accurate measurement of level (the position of the interface between a gas and a liquid), the density and mass of a liquid and a gas, and their overall mass, is proposed. The radio-frequency measuring instruments developed contain three sensors: two level sensors and a gas-density sensor. The information parameters of the sensors are the resonance frequencies of their electromagnetic oscillations.
