Nozzle design

Threaded PVDF antenna
Polymeric lens versions
● The end of the antenna must protrude a minimum of 10 mm (0.4") to avoid false echoes
being reflected from the nozzle
● Minimum recommended nozzle diameter for the threaded PVDF antenna is 50 mm (2").
● An antenna extension (100 mm/3.93") is available for the horn antenna only.
● When installing the SITRANS LR250 with hygienic process connection, it is good hygienic
practice to install the antenna in a nozzle that has a maximum length/diameter ratio of
1:1. For example, 2" (DN50) diameter nozzle should be no longer than 2" (50 mm).
● When removing any sanitary/hygienic clamp version of the HEA to clean the lens, ensure
it is re-installed in the exact position it was removed from, to avoid re-commissioning the
device.
● The maximum nozzle length for the polymeric lens versions is 500 mm (19.68").
