Smart fluid measurement Pilots need to know how much fuel they have available. Maintenance engineers need to know the condition of the fluid. Design engineers need a system to provide accurate and reliable data. Our unique fluid sensors answer these questions. housands of sensors fitted to fuel, hydraulic and oil systems on aircraft, helicopters and engines (civil and military) worldwide. Decades of in-service experience with float/reed switches, capacitance probes and our state-of-the- art Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) system. Our systems typically incorporate fluid level sensors, signal conditioners, display units, and specialised controller devices. Time Domain Reflectometry system – see how it works… In service with over 10,000 sensors on a range of aircraft platforms. Parker Meggitt’s breakthrough Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) system utilises high-speed electronics and RF-based technology to accurately measure fluid levels and is compatible with all fluid types. Reduce maintenance burden The TDR-based system enables predictive maintenance by detecting and measuring the amount of water present in the fluid. The advanced digital built-in-test and self-diagnosis features can quickly identify the location of any faulty cable or sensor. This reduces the cost of maintenance and support associated with troubleshooting and replacing failed probes, which is particularly important in a fluid system that might employ as many as 50 discrete sensors.
