Abstract
A method for measuring the fluid properties of a sequence of fluids, including at least a first fluid and a second fluid. The methods utilize a monitoring assembly, having a fluid-properties measurement device that includes a resonator, and a set of resonator extensions, each one adapted to attach to the resonator in a manner such that the resonator's response to excitation is affected by immersion of the resonator extension. In the method a first one of the resonator extensions is attached to the resonator and the fluid-properties measurement device is used to measure at least one fluid property of the first fluid. Then he first one of the resonator extensions is removed from the resonator and a second one of the resonator extensions is attached to the resonator. Finally, the fluid-properties measurement device is used to measure at least one fluid property of the second fluid.
