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.

cording to DIN-EN-ASME-JIS"
Process temperature -196 … +280 °C (-321 … +536 °F)
4) Time span after a sudden measuring distance change by max. 0.5 m in liquid applications, max 2 m with bulk
solids applications, until the output signal has taken for the first time 90 % of the final value (IEC 61298-2).
