Accurate inventory control in tanks and silos
Mettler-Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland, points out that gravimetric level control is one of the most precise inventory control methods available. Its extreme accuracy makes it particularly helpful when measuring high-value solids, liquids and sometimes even gases.
Owingi to the fact that load cells are placed outside the vessel, it is perfect for measuring aggressive, hot, frozen, non-free-flowing or non-self-levelling materials. The company has put together a white paper on this subject providing the following information:
- Achievable accuracy with the gravimetric method
- Design of tank scales including understructure and piping
- Tank scale installation
- Weighing terminals and transmitters for tank weighing
- Characteristics of different calibration methods
- Maintenance of weighing technology for tanks.
The white paper is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Thai, Czech, Norwegian, Korean, and Russian.
