max. 10 mm (0.394 in)

Influence of the superimposed gas and pressure to the accuracy
The propagation speed of the radar impulses in gas or vapour above the medium is reduced by
high pressure. This effect depends on the superimposed gas or vapour and is especially large at
low temperatures.
The following table shows the resulting deviation for some typical gases and vapours. The specified
values refer to the distance. Positive values mean that the measured distance is too large, negative
values that the measured distance is too small.
