A better way to measure fuel. This Magnetic Field Sensor technology is patented by CiES Inc. for fuel level senders. These sensors use the basic premise that the electrical properties of certain ferromagnetic alloys, such as permalloy, are influenced by external magnetic fields.
Like a compass that always points to magnetic North, no matter how you move the fuel - these fuel level senders always point to the float sitting on the surface.
The CiES digital fuel quantity system utilizes a high technology sensor system that allows repeatable accurate measurement of fuel in aircraft tank. This high technology and patented sensor system allows fuel measurements down to a change in fuel level to less than 0.03 of an inch. This measurement represents much less than 10ths of a gallon of AVGAS or Jet A. The non-contact measurement method insures a lifetime of operation providing the same consistent fuel level output in the cockpit with modern digital fuel indication.
The initial STC allows the CiES to replace the existing fuel quantity senders in:
