DEVICE FOR CALIBRATION OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR OF GRANULAR BULK MATERIALS by A. Zhdanov, V. Petrov, Y. Misko

“…According to the plan for the implementation of the scientific and technical work "Experimental and theoretical studies of the influence of the roll of a vertical deep container on the distribution of horizontal pressure of granular bulk material on the walls of the container" (DR No. 0121U112518), which is being carried out at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of ODABA, for further research on the pressure distribution of bulk material, a pneumatic measuring system for measuring pressure of granular material on the vertical walls of storage models was developed. Pressure measurements are indirect - based on the absolute value of the movement of the sensor platform, which perceives the pressure of the bulk material, relative to the sensor body, the amount of pressure of the bulk material on the sensor was estimated. …”
