Tank geometry

For Tank Geometry the following basic configuration must be performed:
Tank Height (R)
Tank Type
Tank Bottom Type
The following combinations of Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type are valid:
Table 4-3. Tank Bottom
Tank Type
Vertical Cylinder
Horizontal Cylinder
Spherical
Cubical
Flat
66
The Tank Height is defined as the distance between the upper reference point
(top-side of the tank nozzle) and the lower reference point (zero level).
Tank Height (R)
By defining Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type default values for some parameters are
set. Through this the transmitter is optimized for a specific combination of Tank type
and Tank Bottom Type. For tank types vertical cylinder and cubical, all tank bottom
types are valid. For tank types horizontal cylinder and spherical, the parameter Tank
Bottom Type is not used.
Select Tank Bottom Type flat inclined if the bottom inclination is between 10 and 30
degrees. If the inclination is less than 10 degrees but there are disturbing objects on
the tank floor (like heating coils) right beneath the transmitter use this selection.
