Coal stockpile
Height measurement of the coal stockpile
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement and point level detection
        Measuring point:
    
    Stockpile
        Measuring range up to:
    
    20 m
        Medium:
    
    Soft coal and hard coal
        Process temperature:
    
    -40 … +50 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … 0 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Rain, snow, wind, dust and noise
Application
After being unloaded from rail cars or ships, the coal is stored in stockpiles. Here, reliable measuring systems that function properly in any kind of weather are essential for level monitoring and belt positioning.
