Accurate measurement is the backbone of any operation that relies on stored materials—whether liquids, powders, grains, chemicals, or aggregates. Tanks and silos equipped with level sensors or weighing systems provide critical data that influences production, safety, inventory management, and compliance. But like all measurement instruments, these systems drift over time and require scheduled servicing and calibration to maintain performance.
Regular servicing, maintenance and calibration of your tank and silo weighing solutions is important for the following reasons:
What Happens During the Servicing and Calibration Process?
The process varies depending on the system type – hydrostatic, radar, ultrasonic, load cell, or strain gauge – but typically includes the following steps.
Technicians begin with an evaluation of:
This identifies potential issues before calibration begins.
A thorough inspection ensures that external factors won’t influence accuracy:
These steps ensure that calibration results are meaningful and stable.
The core of the calibration process includes:
Zero Calibration
For weighing systems, this means removing the load (or simulating an empty vessel) to set the system’s baseline reading.
Span Calibration
Calibrators apply known weights, test loads, or simulation tools to adjust the system’s full scale accuracy.
For level sensors, technicians may:
Once calibrated, technicians test:
This ensures every part of the measurement chain operates flawlessly.
Servicing and calibration of tank level and silo weighing systems are essential for ensuring accuracy, safety, compliance, and efficiency. These systems are critical infrastructure in many industries, and proper maintenance not only protects your assets but also contributes to smoother operations and better decision‑making.
A structured maintenance program helps organisations avoid costly downtime, maintain consistent product quality, and stay compliant with industry standards—making it an investment that continually pays for itself.
