Properly select level-measurement devices for bulk solids

In selecting a level-measuring device for a particular application, cost is rarely the primary factor. For a particular application, the process, the material properties, and environmental factors may all affect the performance of a particular instrument. It is therefore essential to identify early on what these factors are, and to select the most suitable technique or techniques before choosing a particular measuring device. Final selection will be based on cost of ownership (including installation and maintenance costs) and specific features offered by the vendor (for example, smart capability)
