Abstract
A system for measuring component fluid levels in a multi-phase fluid is provided. The system includes a sensing assembly. The sensing assembly includes a primary coil and at least one secondary coil. The primary coil is wound around a sampling container that holds the multi-phase fluid. The secondary coil is disposed proximate to the primary coil and each of the at least one secondary coil is electrically connected to at least one capacitive element. Further, the system includes an analyzer that is inductively coupled to the at least one secondary coil. The analyzer is configured to measure a response of the at least one secondary coil in response to an excitation signal provided to the primary coil.
