This paper presents, an understanding a new method of pneumatic type fly ash level in storage silo. With the increased use of fly ash in cement production more and more fly ash is ending up in silos and storage vessels. However the use of fly ash becomes challenges when it comes measuring the level of fly ash in your storage bins and silos. In this method pneumatic type regulated air is passed through solenoid valve which is controlled by controller when inlet valve is open controller starts the timer and pressure increases Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) elastic bag, where Teflon bag is directly placed inside the storage silo and it directly contact with the fly ash material. Depend upon level of fly ash material there will be proportional change in free space of Teflon bag which leads to change in back pressure. When desired back pressure is reached pressure sensor sends the signal to stop the timer, time taken is directly proportional to the level of flyash as stored.
