(OP)
Hello!
Does anybody know of a good method to measure the amount (mass or volume) of settled solids in a settling tank over time?
Thanks :)

In your second post are you saying there is a distinct layer or are you asking if there is a way to determine if there is a distinct solid/liquid interface?

Do these solids have color? How much depth is expected for the settled solids?

You've not answered any of my questions, making it difficult to come up with plausible answers. You need to establish the requirements before you come up with solutions.

The easier way to do this is to use a conical bottom tank and install valves on the side of the tank every 12 inches or so.
