Maybe ultrasonic or radar, to avoid H2SO4 contact with the instrument.

Some of our CR4 instrument pros may have better ideas.

Ultrasonic or radar. Probably radar. It's all about the compatibility of the wetted materials. Many radar instruments have wettable parts coated in PVDF, which is compatible with H2SO4.

A visit to a manufacturer's website will give you the information you need. Take your pick. (",)

Any instrument that is composed of compatible materials for the expected service conditions and temperatures (if you are actually using 100%, not 96% or less material then stainless steel could possibly even be an option) and will give you the range and level of accuracy needed. Without you being more specific we can only throw out different options- ultrasonic, radar, DP switching, floats etc.
