Device for measuring fluid properties in caustic environments

There is provided embodiments of a fluid fitting (200), and system (112) incorporating the fluid fitting (200) therein, which is compatible with harsh, caustic environments such as those environments found in the automotive industry. In one embodiment, the fluid fitting (200) can comprise a conductive element (220) with a fluid pathway (208) for transporting a fluid, e.g., fuel. The fluid fitting (200) can also comprise a non-conductive element (218) that is coupled to the conductive element (220) in a manner discharging electrons from the conductive element (220). The non-conductive element (218) can comprise a cavity (224) with an opening (232) exposing a sensing device (210) with a sensing element (212) disposed on a sensing element housing (214). The sensing element housing (214) can be sealed to the conductive element (220), but expose the sensing element (212) to the fluid in the fluid pathway (208).
