Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure
that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product.

Flush mounting
The best way to mount the sensor, also with respect to cleanability, is
flush on a block flange (flange without socket piece) or with hygienic
fittings, e.g. Neumo Biocontrol.
Mounting on socket
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGAPULS 63 on a socket piece. You will find recommended values
for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should
be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Then carry out a
false echo storage.
