Fig. 12: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium
A corresponding collar flange for DN 80 (ASME 3" or JIS 80) as well
as a suitable adapter flange are available for mounting VEGAPULS
61.
With the housing versions plastic, aluminium single chamber and
stainless steel, the collar flange can be placed directly over the hous-
ing. With the aluminium double chamber housing, retroactive mount-
ing in this way is not possible - the mounting type must be specified
with the order.
Information:
The socket should be as short as possible and the socket end
rounded. Thus, false reflections by the vessel socket are reduced.
Fig. 13: Recommended socket mounting
If the medium has good reflective properties, VEGAPULS 61 can
also be mounted on a longer socket piece. Recommended values
for socket heights are specified in the following illustration. You must
carry out a false echo storage afterwards.
