7.2.3 Applications with viscous and fast flowing media
For applications with viscous or flowing media and / or agitators in which the rod is
exposed to lateral load:
► Rod must not be in contact with tank
wall / structures�
► Increase lateral minimum distances
according to the rod length and the
lateral deflection to be expected�
► If possible, fix the rod at the tank bottom
so that it is electrically conductive� This
can be done by means of a sleeve or
similar devices (fig� 7-3)�
► Check the correct function (in particular
with empty tank)�
