Strong product movements

Heavy turbulences in the vessel, e.g. by
strong stirrers or strong chemical reactions
influence the measurement. A surge or by-
pass pipe (figure) of sufficient size allows,
provided that the product causes no build-
up in the pipe, always a reliable measure-
ment even with strong turbulences in the
vessel.

Products which can cause slight build-up
can be measured by using a measuring pipe
with 100 mm nominal width and more. In a
measuring pipe of this size, slight build-up is
not a problem.

Inflowing material

Do not mount the instruments in or above the
filling stream. Ensure that you detect the
product surface and not the inflowing mate-
rial.

Build-up

If the radar sensor is mounted too close to
the vessel wall, build-up on the vessel walls
causes false echoes. Position the radar sen-
sor in a sufficient distance to the vessel wall.

instructions“.
