Abstract
The invention describes a method and a device for determining a filling level and can be applied to the ascertainment of the simmering process of mineral oil products. The method is characterized that by means of at least two stationary sensors, a first filling level and at least a second filling level are defined and the number of drops required for reaching the first and second filling levels is recorded. By way of a further sensor the number of drops dropped in during the simmering process is counted and, by way of calculation, the partial volume at a specified location and the filling level are determined. The device is characterized, wherein for the purpose of level recording in a measuring cylinder in a measuring arrangement a first stationary sensor and at least a second stationary sensor and a metering sensor are arranged, where the positions of the stationary sensors represent a defined relation to the filling level in the measuring cylinder and the metering sensor records the number of drops dropped in during the simmering process.
