This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A new electromagnetic level indicating (EMLI) system using time domain reflectometry (TDR), being developed for Fleet use at the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center (DTNSRDC), will provide a highly reliable method of monitoring fuel and water levels in storage tanks. The final system configuration is modular electronics, which will be simple and automatic, requiring much less maintenance than tank level indicators currently used throughout the fleet. Investigations show that a system suitable for shipboard use can be designed with better than 0.25-inch resolution in the level measurement and can indicate the oil/seawater interface in ballasted tanks. The system would thus consist of a rugged, corrosion-resistant sensor with no moving parts, a TDR electronics module, and a signal processing module to convert the TDR output into a suitable display and/or control signal....FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Navy Technology Transfer Fact Sheet, Code E411, Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren, VA 22448.
