Standpipes or bypass tubes are normally metal tubes with a diameter of 30 … 200 mm (1.18 … 7.87 in). In measurement technology such a tube corresponds to a coax probe. It does not matter if the standpipe is perforated or slotted for better mixing. Lateral inlets with bypass tubes also do not influenc...
