Abstract

The invention is in the monitoring of physical parameters relating to various fluids and polymers by contacting same with the surface of a piezoelectric material unit through which is passing a surface acoustic wave, and measuring the alteration of that wave as an indication of these parameters. The invention is also in apparati for monitoring certain of said parameters.
