A corresponding collar flange for DN 80 (ASME 3" or JIS 80) as well

as a suitable adapter flange are available for mounting VEGAPULS

61.
With the housing versions plastic, aluminium single chamber and

stainless steel, the collar flange can be placed directly over the hous-

ing. With the aluminium double chamber housing, retroactive mount-

ing in this way is not possible - the mounting type must be specified

with the order.
Information:

The socket should be as short as possible and the socket end

rounded. Thus, false reflections by the vessel socket are reduced.

Fig. 12: Recommended socket mounting

If the medium has good reflective properties, VEGAPULS 61 can

also be mounted on a longer socket piece. Recommended values

for socket heights are specified in the following illustration. You must

carry out a false echo storage afterwards.
