Measuring system General notes on probe selection
• Normally, rope probes should be used for bulk solids, rod probes are only suitable for short
measuring ranges up to approx. 2 m (6.6 ft) 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.
• In the case of large silos, the lateral pressure on the rope can be so high that a rope with plastic
jacketing must be used. We recommend PA-coated ropes be used for cereal products such as
wheat, flour etc.
