Abstract
An ultrasonic sensor detects a level of a fluid. A first probe has a first transducer element to transmit an ultrasonic signal through the first probe. A second probe of a helix shape has a second transducer element coiled around the first probe to receive the ultrasonic signal transmitted by the first probe through the fluid. A stabilizing rod and a plurality of stabilizing collets are disposed between the rod and the second probe parallel to both the first probe and the second probe.
