Since the tensile forces are also heavily dependent on the viscosity of the product, a
higher safety factor is necessary for highly viscous 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.
The same forces also act on the silo cover.
On a fixed rope, the tensile forces are definitely greater, but this can not be calculated.
Observe the tensile strength of the probes or ensure that the tensile strength of the
probes is not exceeded.
Options for reducing the tensile forces:
•
Shorten the probe
•
If the maximum tensile load is exceeded, check whether it would be possible to use
a non-contact ultrasonic device.
