Application Problem: Customer required level measurement for 30ft rectangular shape tanks with sand. Solid material has a steep angle of repose.
Application History: Due to a steep angle of repose contact and non-contact level devices gave false readings.
Solution: ABM ultrasonic level sensors (ABM400-45UC4) are used. The sensors track the material level over the 30ft range. The ultrasonic transducer with uniform polar pattern and wide frequency bandwidth together with optimally matched transceiver and signal processing eliminate the skip effect that is caused by solid materials with steep angle of repose.
“ABM devices eliminated influence of the material shape on the level readings.”
