A method and a device for determining vertical distribution of one or a plurality of media (14, 15) surrounding a measuring device (1-6), and where the positions (31) of boundary layers may be determined from the difference of an arrangement of one or a plurality of thermal sensor elements (1) which have direct or indirect thermal connection with the medium to be measured (14, 15), via an external partition (5), and where a temperature sensitive self-regulating material is used for said element or elements, preferably an electrically conductive composite material, power being supplied to the element or elements, and said position(s) being recorded as a function of the power consumed by element (1), i.e. as a function of the magnitude of the effect absorbed by the measured medium at the measuring point (its heat conductivity). <IMAGE> |
