Method and apparatus for measuring characteristics of fluid in a reservoir

Disclosed are methods in which measurements are obtained from a plurality of sensors secured in spaced relation to one another across at least a portion of the depth of reservoir of some form in order to identify one or more characteristics of the fluids within the reservoir. The sensors are used to...

description Disclosed are methods in which measurements are obtained from a plurality of sensors secured in spaced relation to one another across at least a portion of the depth of reservoir of some form in order to identify one or more characteristics of the fluids within the reservoir. The sensors are used to monitor ambient forces exerted by fluids within the tank proximate each sensor. An example mechanism for obtaining the measurements includes a plurality of sensors, such as strain gauges, supported on a structure that supports the sensors in fixed relation to one another, and can, in some examples, support the sensors in a known relation relative to boundaries of the reservoir.
