Abstract
A fluid sensor arrangement () includes a sleeve () that is adapted to be placed within a container (). A plurality of conductors () and a channel member () within the sleeve cooperate to provide a measurement of conductivity of the fluid within the sleeve (). The conductivity measurement provides an indication of a level of fluid within the container (). A disclosed example includes a non-conductive channel member () having an opening or a channel () for directing selected portions of a conductivity field within the sleeve () between the conductors () for making the conductivity determinations.
