This paper presents an inexpensive and accurate measuring device for water constitute in oil. The new device is based on the relationship between the water constitute in oil and the pressure of a sample from the oil. Experimental results show that the device can attain a very high resolution that can reach up +/- 0.4% and it can be used to measure a full range of water percentage levels (0-100%). Experimental results showed good agreement with theory.
