This "throw-in" type liquid sensor adopts a high-performance pressure sensor, complete with temperature compensation. You could use this pressure data to determine the depth of liquid above the sensor, and therefore the volume of liquid in a container

The shell of the sensor is made of stainless steel, a naturally anti-corrosive and easy-to-clean material. It can be directly placed in liquids like water, oil or even something thicker!

Since this sensor outputs a fairly obscure current output (yep, not voltage), DFRobot have bundled in their analog current to voltage converter board to make this sensor usable with Arduinos or similar microcontrollers
