Capacitance probe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capacitance sensors use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of the surrounding medium. The volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivit...

Figure 8-4: Click on figure to enlarge. used to suspend the probe up to 15 m (50 ft) (Figure 8-4B). Most capacitance level sensors are provided with 3/4 to 1- 1/2 in NPT mounting connectors. The matching female coupling is usually welded to the vessel wall and the capacitance probe is screwed into the mating connector.

Due to the recent discussion about the Sentek EnviroScan* capacitance probe system, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss the Water Management Research Lab's observations with Sentek* and Troxler* capacitance probes. Let me briefly discuss how a capacitance probe works (if you're rusty in basic electronics,

Capacitance Probe - Any probe which utilizes the measured electrical capacitance between it and a reference surface. For a planar probe, the capacitance is epsilon times A divided by d where epsilon is the dielectric constant of the material between the probe and object, A is the area of the probe,
