Burkert Type 8136 - Manual (Page 16)

If the medium has good reflective properties, LEVEL TRANSMITTER
8136 can also be mounted on a longer socket piece. Recommended
values for socket heights are specified in the following illustration. You
must carry out a false echo storage afterwards.

h
The below charts specify the max. socket piece length h depending on
the diameter d.
Socket diameter d Socket length h
80 mm 300 mm
100 mm 400 mm
150 mm 500 mm
Socket diameter d Socket length h
3" 11.8 in
4" 15.8 in
6" 19.7 in
Tip:
In new facilities it is useful to incline the vessel socket in the direction
of the outlet. False reflections from the vessel wall are thus reduced
and measurement all the way down to the bottom of the conical outlet
is possible.
