You can find further information in the operating instructions manual
"Rod extension VEGAFLEX series 80".
The combination of a bypass tube and a VEGAFLEX 81 enables con-
tinuous level measurement outside the vessel. The bypass consists
of a standpipe which is mounted as a communicating container on
the side of the vessel via two process fittings. This kind of mounting
ensures that the level in the standpipe and the level in the vessel are
the same.
The length and the process fittings can be configured individually. No
different connection versions available.
You can find further information in the operating instructions manual
"Bypass tube VEGAPASS 81".
If you mount the VEGAFLEX 81 in a bypass tube or standpipe, you
have to avoid contact to the bypass tube by using a spacer at the
probe end.
