When you find a few possible types contact rep. To advice you further. Did you realy think that with that little information we can find a sensor for you? Regards, Marcjan

William_B Posts: 5225 Rating: (1182)	Hi. I would look for something like an ultra-sonic proximity sensor. Depending how agressive the composition is and how thick, you could consider making a floating sensing device. Do these thoughts help? w

What is the maximum distance? Now that you mention it.. The capacitive sensor would be a good idea. I have seen guys mount this against a poly-carb "viewing port" and detect a liquid on the other side. Did I observe right; is it possible?
