Applications
Applications with Standpipe
In many liquid applications, access to the vessel must be made via a
standpipe. In such cases, Milltronics can provide optional flanged
transducers, or split flanges that mate to a flanged standpipe. Another option
is to hang the transducer from a blind flange.
The standpipe length should be as short and the diameter as large as
possible. As a rule of thumb, the – 3 dB cone of the sound beam should not
intersect the standpipe wall in applications opening into a vessel. Otherwise,
additional near blanking (P800) is required to compensate for the
interference zone created by the opening.
