Piping
With granular materials, fill the vessel sym-
metrically. Use a deflector cone to help
distribute/level the material.
Do not use rubber pads or other devices
which will increase the deflection of the
vessel under load. Strengthen the support
structure to reduce deflection.
Do not allow a common discharge pipe to
hang directly from the vessels. In the ex-
ample at left, discharging tank B will tempo-
rarily add weight to tank A. For a better
installation, support the pipes independently.
Flexible electrical cables should not run ver-
tically to a weigh vessel; they should run
horizontally or provide a loop as shown.
