Abstract

A novel sensing device having a unique structure, for measuring volume, position or mass of matter (11) comprising of a housing (12) having a removable top (13), a permanent bottom (14), an electronic oscillator board (15) having plurality of electronic components for measuring volume, position, or mass of matter. A coax type wire (16) having a first end (17) connected to said electronic oscillator board (15) and a second end (18) terminating at the bottom of receiver hole (20). A retainer (19) used to form said receiver hole (20) having a top end (21) open to said permanent bottom (14) on said housing (12) to accommodate said coax type wire (16). Said receiver hole 20 having a bottom end (22) and lower end (25) being isolated by said non-conductive material (23). Said non-conductive material (23) having an upper end (24) being attached by mounting means (26) to said permanent bottom (14) of housing (12).
