2.8.2 How to attach probes to the bottom of the tank

If the liquid is agitated or turbulent, you can attach the probe to the bottom of the tank. The

procedure to attach the probe depends on the type of probe used.

For more data, refer to the Handbook.

Use a standpipe if:

• There is highly conductive foam in the tank.

• The liquid is very turbulent or agitated.

• There are too many other objects in the tank.

• The device is measuring a liquid (petro-chemicals) in a tank with a floating roof.

For more data, refer to the Handbook.

INFORMATION!

Standpipes are not necessary for devices with coaxial probes. But if there is a sudden change in

diameter in the standpipe, we recommend that you install a device with a coaxial probe.

We recommend that you prepare the installation when the silo is empty.
