A low intrinsic capacitance probe system for measuring capacitance to detect the liquid fill level of a pressure vessel that incorporates a high pressure center rod retention system and an explosionproof flame path seal into its mounting gland. The system reduces or eliminates the cold flow of PTFE within the probe and eliminates the need for periodic retorquing.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 16, 1994 and granted December 23, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 16, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 16, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
