Dear Automation friends
I have a silo of corn with 10m radius and 20m height. I want to measure the level of corn in the silo by putting a load cell on the floor of it and measuring the weight of corns column above the load cell and estimate the level of corn.
Due to frictions between corn and body of silo, there is some non-linearity effect in the measurement but I think, in respect of relation between dimensions of silo this non-linearity is negligible. Is this a true assumption or not? If not, in which way I can use a load cell for my measurement.
best regards
