A solid corrosion-resistant diamond cross section is used as a waveguide in straight and torsional sensor applications to analyze the real-time properties of the adjacent liquid. The speed of stress propagation of a torsional wave in a wave-guide of uniform cross section varies according to the medium in which it is submerged due to loading. The diamond cross section measures fluid medium characteristics such as fluid density, fluid collapse level and fluid concentration.
