Tip:
In new facilities it is useful to incline the vessel socket in the direction
of the outlet. False reflections from the vessel wall are thus reduced
and measurement all the way down to the bottom of the conical outlet
is possible.
Fig. 14: Alignment in silos
The silo walls of multiple chamber silos are often made of profile walls,
like e.g. profile sheeting, to ensure the required stability. If the radar
sensor is mounted very close to a heavily structured vessel wall,
substantial interfering reflections can be generated. Hence the sensor
should be mounted at a large distance from the separating wall. Mounting in multiple
