If possible, avoid sockets. Mount the sensor flush with the vessel top. If this is not possible, use short sockets with small diameter. Higher sockets or sockets with a bigger diameter can generally be used. They simply increase the upper dead band. Check if this is relevant for your measurement. In ...

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...
Page 20
Note: measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for very adhesive products. Make sure that the probe is not subjected to strong lateral forces. Mount vegaflex 62 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.G. From filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Fig. 11: lateral load if the...
