  • Page 8 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 2.3.5 Engineering hints for level measurement in bulk solids and fluids • Normally, rope probes should be used for bulk solids, rod probes are only suitable for short measuring ranges up to approx. 2 m in bulk solids. This applies above all to applications in which the probe is installed laterally at an angle and for light and pourable bulk solids.

  • Page 10 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Type of probe installation • Probes are mounted to the process connection with threaded connections or flanges and are usually also secured with these. If during this installation there is the danger that the probe end moves so much that it touches the tank floor or cone at times, the probe must, if necessary, be shortened and fixed down.
  • Page 11 Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting Supporting probes against warping • For WHG approval: For probe lengths ≥ 3 m a support is required (see figur). • For GL/ABS approval: Rof probes ∅ 16 mm ≤ 1 m permissible, rod probes ∅ 6 mm not permissible.

  • Page 13 Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting The following diagrams show typical loads for frequently occuring bulk solids as reference values. The calculation is performed for the following conditions: • Suspended probe (probe end not fixed at the bottom) • Free-flowing bulk solid, i.e. mass flow. A calculation for core flow is not possible. In the event of collapsing cornices, considerably higher loads can occur.
  • Page 14 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Since the tensile forces are also heavily dependent on the viscosity of the product, a higher safety factor is necessary for highly viscouse products and if there is a risk of cornice build-up. In critical cases it is better to use a 6 mm rope instead of a 4 mm one.
