4 Handbook BM 100 A
General advice on safety
The device will normally weigh between approx. 11 kg / 25 lb and 35kg / 77 lb. Carry the
device using two people, lifting it by the flange holes and supporting the probe. Lifting
gear may also be used but no attempt should be made to lift the device by the probe.
Range of application
The BM 100 A TDR Level gauge measures the level and volume of liquids and liquid gases. It can
also measure the level and volume of pastes, powders, slurries and granular products.
The BM 100 A also permits continuous and simultaneous measurement of liquid level and interface
of two liquids.
For the storage of volatile products, such as water and carbon disulphide
tanks, the BM 100 A can
also be equipped with a probe (type G) to measure the interface with a top mounted probe: this
avoids the resultant safety issues of installing a gauge under the tank.
