The optimum and most constant conditions for density measurement
in tube can be reached if you mount the measuring arrangement on
vertical pipelines or in conveyors. The radiation must be oriented
directly to the detector mounted on the opposite side.
To extend the distance of the beam through the medium and thus
achieve a better measuring effect, the tube can be radiated diagonally
or a measuring track can be used.
You can find the required mounting accessory in chapter "Technical
data".
The source container VEGASOURCE should be mounted as close as
possible to the vessel.
However, a distance can often not be avoided with large measuring
ranges and small vessel diameters.
If there are gaps or intervening spaces around the installation, provide
protective fences or grids to keep hands away from the dangerous
area. Such areas must be marked accordingly.
The ideal measurement setup for density measurement is installa-
tion on a vertical pipeline. The pipe diameter can be 50 … 100 mm
(1.97 … 3.94 in). Flow direction should be from bottom to top.
