Method and Apparatus for Adjusting the Filling Level in Filling Machines for Vessels The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for adjusting the filling level in filling machines for vessels, wherein the filling level is measured with the aid of a probe immersed in the filling vessel and is adjusted in response to a signal from the probe. To obtain information about the instantaneous filling level at any time, a continuous measuring signal which is substantially proportional to the filling level is produced by a probe. An elongated probe body is here immersed into the liquid of the vessel to be filled, with a plurality of measuring points being connected to an electronic evaluation means via a plurality of switching elements, and a ground contact projects into the vessel to be filled to the farthest degree. A quasi-continuous signal curve can be implemented with this method through a plurality of measuring points, resulting in a time-dependent signal function S (t) from the gradient of which the filling speed can be derived at any time t.
