Summary

Tests of resistance thermometers as liquid-vapour interface sensors for liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen showed that most could be made to detect the liquid surface, but a tiny silicon sensor developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center gave the fastest response. Tests of a commercial optical surface sensor and two modified versions of it showed that optical sensors can reliably and rapidly detect the liquid-vapour interface of both hydrogen and nitrogen.
