Standpipe measurement of inhomoge-
neous products
If you want to measure inhomogeneous or
stratified products in a surge pipe, it must
have holes, elongated holes or slots. These
openings ensure that the liquid is mixed and
corresponds to the liquid in the vessel.
In extremely adhesive products, measure-
ment in a standpipe is not possible at all.
Adhesive products
In adhesive products, use a surge pipe with
a larger inner diameter. In non-adhesive
products, a 50 mm measuring tube is a good
and cost-effective solution. In slightly adhe-
sive products, use a surge pipe with a nomi-
nal width of 100 mm or 150 mm. so that
buildup cannot cause measurement errors.
