Abstract
A state detecting device can efficiently remove air bubbles from a liquid no matter whether the liquid flows forwards or backwards. The state detecting device () is provided in a tube to detect a state of a liquid flowing in the tube. The state detecting device () includes: a liquid hold part () in which the liquid is stored; an inflow part () from which the liquid enters the liquid hold part (); an outflow part () from which the liquid exits from the liquid hold part (); an inlet () that is a rear end portion of the inflow part (); and an outlet () that is a front end portion of the outflow part (). Here, the inlet () and the outlet () are arranged higher than a center of the liquid hold part () in a vertical direction when the state detecting device is provided in the tube.
