Abstract
In the paper a prototype of ultrasonic argon detector that can be used as a warning device in safety systems for cryogenic installations has been described. The sensor is operating at the frequency of 40 kHz and it has a response time below 1 second. The device after minor modifications could be also used for detection of other gases. A brief information about the construction of the sensor together with its preliminary test results were presented.
