3.4.1 Select the measurement location and pre-set the device
In the determination of the sludge level over the duration of an
ultrasonic echo, the entire space between the probe on the water
surface and the tank bottom is required for the measurement. As
solid bodies in this area disrupt the measurements, special
attention is required in the selection of the measurement location.
In the following, it is explained how the suitability of a possible
measurement location can be tested. The tank depth should be
known here.
A suitable measurement location must be found depending on tank
type. The graphics that follow show typical examples for a round
tank and a rectangular tank. The point (1) in
is a suitable measurement location.
