ABSTRACT:
A method for remotely measuring the level of a bulk material in a vessel, wherein the bulk material comprises loose particles, with adjoining particles defining interstices therebetween. Liquid is added to the vessel at a constant flow rate through a liquid inlet of the vessel, wherein the liquid progressively fills the interstices of the bulk material from the bottom of the vessel to the surface level of the bulk material. The liquid level indications of a level measuring device are monitored as a function of time. The level at which the rate of change of liquid level in the vessel decreases is determined. Such level represents the surface level of bulk material in the vessel.
