Measurement through a ball valve
A0034564
• Measurements can be performed through an open full bore ball valve without any problems.
• At the transitions, no gap exceeding 1 mm (0.04 in) may be left.
• Opening diameter of ball valve must always correspond to the pipe diameter; avoid edges and
constrictions.
External measurement through plastic cover or dielectric windows
• Dielectric constant of medium: ε
r
≥ 10
• The distance from the tip of the antenna to the tank should be approx. 100 mm (4 in).
• Avoid installation positions where condensate or buildup can form between the antenna and the
vessel
• In the case of outdoor installations, ensure that the area between the antenna and the tank is
protected from the weather
• Do not install any fittings or attachments between the antenna and the tank that could reflect the
signal
The thickness of the tank ceiling or the dielectric window depends on the ε
r
of the material.
