Abstract
A piezoelectric pressure sensor for detecting the amount of oil in an engine oil pan of an automobile, and liquid level or the amount of liquid such as water level in a water bath, makes use of the phenomenon that an impedance of an excited piezoelectric element varies between in a gas and in a liquid. The pressure sensor is insensitive to surrounding temperature, and has high response and is of simple construction.
