In the control system (DCS) you can correct the measurement results
of the VEGAFLEX 86 with these values.
The prerequisite is constant temperature and pressure in the vessel.
Automatic correction via the reference distance
The VEGAFLEX 86 can be equipped optionally with a running time
correction via reference distance. The probe can carry out an auto-
matic running time correction with it.
The reference point must hence not be overfilled. The upper dead
band is hence 450 mm (17.7 in).
