If the vessel contains agitated products,
fasten the measuring pipe to the vessel bot-
tom. Provide additional fastenings for longer
measuring pipes.
When measuring products with lower dielec-
tric values (< 4), a part of the radar signal
penetrates the medium. If the vessel is nearly
empty, an echo is generated by the medium
and the vessel bottom. In some cases, the
vessel bottom generates a stronger signal
echo than the product surface. With a deflec-
tor on the measuring pipe end, the radar
signals are scattered. In nearly empty ves-
sels and products with low dielectric value,
the medium then generates a stronger echo
than the vessel bottom.
Thanks to the deflector, only the useful signal
is received in a nearly empty vessel - the
correct measured value is thus transmitted
and the 0 % level reliably detected.
Instead of a deflector, the standpipe or surge
pipe can be equipped with a quadrant pipe
at the end. This reflects the radar signals that
penetrate the medium diffusely to the side
and reduces strong echoes from the tube
end or vessel bottom.
