Abstract

This paper presents a designed system with a radio-frequency sensor intended for measuring liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) mass in a tank. The system measures the current mass of LPG with the maximum error of ±0.5% under its real storage conditions in tanks. Particular attention is paid to the measurement process proper.
