Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A device for measuring conductivity of a fluid, the device comprising:
a chamber that includes:
an inlet,
an outlet, wherein the fluid enters the chamber through the inlet and flows out of the chamber through the outlet,
an upper surface, and
a lower surface that runs separate from the upper surface,

wherein the upper surface has at least a concave portion such that moving along a length of the chamber from the inlet to the outlet or from the outlet to the inlet, a distance between the upper surface and the lower surface changes in at least one dimension of the chamber so that bubbles in the fluid are directed from a lower distance region to a higher distance region along the concave portion of the upper surface and towards the outlet or the inlet; and
two electrodes configured to measure electrical voltage in the fluid that enters the chamber through the inlet and flows out of the chamber through the outlet.
