A measurement system includes a vessel for containing a fluid and at least one solid material and a probe assembly for disposing partially into the fluid within the vessel. The probe assembly includes a hollow tube having an open lower longitudinal end and at least one pressure sensor within the hollow tube, the at least one pressure sensor configured to measure pressures of the fluid within the hollow tube at at least two different elevations. A method of measuring a mass of suspended solids within a fluid, the method includes receiving pressure measurements representing two different elevations of the fluid within a hollow tube and substantially free of the suspended solids and based at least partially on the received pressure measurements, determining a mass of the suspended solids.
