Safety Rods
Any tank that is suspended by tension weigh modules should have a secondary
safety restraint system. Safety rods must be strong enough to support the filled
tank in case the primary suspension system fails. For most applications, you
would install one vertical safety rod next to each tension weigh module (see
Figure 5-19). Fit each safety rod through an oversized hole in the bracket so that
the rod does not influence the live weight readings. Horizontal check rods or
bumpers can be used around the perimeter of the tank to keep it from swaying.
