Technical Description
The invention is a sensor system which measures the electrical conductivity of fluids using a hybrid electrode array enclosed in an insulated protective tube. By combining contact-type current injectors with non-contact capacitively coupled voltage sensors alongside an auto-balancing circuit, it prevents sensor contamination and current leakage into surrounding water to deliver high-resolution salinity and purity readings.
