Developing different cryogenic level sensors like HTS based, Diode array based etc.​

Design, development and testing of high temperature superconductor based level sensor utilizing 3G superconducting tapes which are used as the level sensor for measuring LOX and LH2. A cryostat for accurate level measurement and accurate current sourcing and voltage reading mechanisms were also developed. A detailed comparative study on the different methods of cryogen level measurements was conducted in this project.
