VEGA VEGAFLEX 67 (-40…+150°C PFA insulated) Foundation Fieldbus - Manual (Page 13)

possible. The exact value of the min. distance (lower dead band) is
stated in chapter "Technical data".

To compensate the normal bias voltage loss due to the seal materials,
you have to use also disc springs in addition to the flange screws for
fastening PTFE plated flanges.
The flange screws of VEGAFLEX 67 must always be tightened with a
torque of approx. 60 Nm (44 lbf ft) so that the PTFE washer seals
reliably.
Make sure that the probe is not subjected to strong lateral forces.
Mount VEGAFLEX 67 at a position in the vessel where no
disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
