Abstract
A capacitance probe for determining the water cut or the amount of water in fluids. The probe includes at least a pair of electrodes. Each electrode includes a thin, pliable and conductive winding. The windings have a thin insulation layer or coating. The first electrode and the second electrode are configured to form a capacitance sensor that generates a signal related to the dielectric permittivity of a fluid flowing between the first electrode and the second electrode.
