- Sensing weights

We offer a wide range of sensing weights for various media and applications. When selecting the sensing weight, you should ensure that the sensing weight does not sink in the product or slip off the angle of repose during the measurement process. The sensing weight must be suited to the chemical characteristics of the product and the temperature in the bunker or silo. Using the oval float in the "Dust ignition-proof" version is not permitted.

Below, you will find an overview of the standard sensing weights with application examples.

Normal weight

Application:
For coarse bulk solids, for example coal, ores or stones and granulates.
Materials:
Steel or stainless steel (316TI)
Weight:
1.5 kg
The spike can be screwed off.

Plastic weight

Application:
For coarse bulk solids, e.g. coals, ores or stones and granulates.
Materials:
Plastic and stainless steel (spike)
Weight:
1.5 kg
Maximum permissible temperature:
+70 °C
The sensing weight is available with and without spike.
Use of this sensing weight in the "dust ignition-proof" version is not permitted!

Umbrella weight

Application:
For very light and loose bulk solids, for example flour or coal-dust.
Materials:
Steel or stainless steel (316TI) and polyester (umbrella weight)
Weight:
1.5 kg
The umbrella weight has a large square surface area which prevents it from sinking deeply into the product.
When folded closed, the weight can be passed through the DN100 mounting flange into the bunker.

Medium bag weight

Application:
In bunkers to which e.g. mills are connected downstream. The bag contains whichever product is contained within the bunker.
Materials:
Bag made from polyester, all metal parts made from stainless steel.
Weight:
0.25 kg (empty) or 1.5 kg (filled)
Bind the bag closed at the top so that the contents cannot fall out if the bag tips over on the slope of a product cone.
