mm)
cut on location. See

3.3.9 Ball valve installation
The transmitter can be isolated from the process by using a valve:
• Use a full-port ball valve.
• Ensure there is no edge between the ball valve and the nozzle or still pipe, the inside
should be smooth.
• Valves can be combined with still pipes.
• The ball valve should have the same inner diameter as the still pipe.
