Probes: entanglement, straightness and tank bottom clearance
Cable probes must be straight once inserted into the tank.
They must also be far from other objects (e.g. mixers) to avoid entanglement.
In order to maintain the gauge’s operating characteristics, it is recommended to
avoid touching the tank bottom with the counterweights (for cable probes) or probe
end (other types).
Avoid mounting near objects (discontinuities) inside the tank that influence the
probe’s EM (electromagnetic) field
Install the gauge far from protruding objects such as: heating tubes, sudden
changes in tank cross-section, tank wall reinforcements and beams, weld lines
and dip-stick pipes, etc...
