The optimum and most constant conditions for density measurement

in tube can be reached if you mount the measuring arrangement on

vertical pipelines or in conveyors. The radiation must be oriented

directly to the detector mounted on the opposite side.
To extend the distance of the beam through the medium and thus

achieve a better measuring effect, the tube can be radiated diagonally

or a measuring track can be used.
You can find the required mounting accessory in chapter "Technical

data".
The source container VEGASOURCE should be mounted as close as

possible to the vessel.
However, a distance can often not be avoided with large measuring

ranges and small vessel diameters.
If there are gaps or intervening spaces around the installation, provide

protective fences or grids to keep hands away from the dangerous

area. Such areas must be marked accordingly.
The ideal measurement setup for density measurement is installa-

tion on a vertical pipeline. The pipe diameter can be 50 … 100 mm

(1.97 … 3.94 in). Flow direction should be from bottom to top.
