Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device (10) for providing a temperature compensated measurement of the level of a liquid (14) in a tank (12; 30). The device comprises a transducer (22) for transmitting and receiving acoustic signals, and a waveguide (24) connected to the transducer and adapted to extend into the liquid. The device is characterized by means (16; 18; 40) for directing a flow of liquid originating from the tank of along the exterior of a portion of the waveguide which during operation is located above the liquid level. The present invention also relates to a corresponding method for providing a temperature compensated measurement of the level of a liquid in a tank.
