図面左右方向に向いた形状となっている。As shown in FIG. 1, the detector 3 has a pressure sensor 11 and a signal amplification / conversion unit 13 disposed inside a housing 9, and a tip of the housing 9 serves as a pressure detection unit 15. The pressure detecting section 15 is composed of a pressure receiving diaphragm 17 and a sealed liquid 19 serving as a measurement medium. The pressure receiving diaphragm 17 is perpendicular to the liquid surface to be measured (up and down in FIG. Direction).

According to FIG. 3, when the detector 3 is submerged in the liquid, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, a ring-shaped weight stand 21 is used.
At this time, since the air flows upward along the vertical diaphragm surface 17a of the pressure receiving diaphragm 17, no air pool occurs and accurate liquid level measurement can be performed.
