Abstract
Apparatus for detecting discontinuities, such as bubbles, in a fluid stream in a tube in which successive bursts of ultrasonic energy are transmitted through the tube and received. Discontinuities are detected by comparing each received signal against a reference level which is set over a longer term by the received signals, the presence of a discontinuity is detected by a reduced amplitude signal which causes an indication to be produced.
