Abstract :
A measuring system for monitoring dynamic level variations in red fuming nitric acid is discussed. The system employs a continuous variable-capacitance sensor with a tuned-circuit capacitance detector. The transistorized, temperature-stabilized capacitance detector is discussed in detail. Performance data are presented.
