Straining
Generally the measuring result is only slightly
influenced when the gravity weight is in con-
tact with the vessel wall.
Dependent on the kind of solid, the installa-
tion or the kind of filling, the cable can "float"
(fig. 2.4) despite of the gravity weight. The
solid can push the cable to the vessel wall or
to the top and wrong measured values are
caused.
In this case fasten the cable. When straining
the cable avoid strong cable forces. In our
pricelist you will find a spring as accessory
avoiding overloading of the cable.
Build-up
Generally build-up on the cable causes
changes of the measured value. If strong
build-up on the cable has to be expected, it
is recommended to use an isolated cable.
The higher surface quality avoids build-up.
Abrasion
In very abrasive products, e.g. the measure-
ment of grit, use a measuring cable without
isolation.
Socket
If possible avoid long sockets.
