6.1.4 Information concerning the process connection
Probes are mounted on the process connection with threaded connections or flanges.
If there is the danger with this installation that the probe end moves so much that it
occasionally touches the vessel floor or cone, the probe may need to be shortened at
the lower end and fixed in place.
Threaded connection
 8 Mounting with threaded connection; flush with the vessel ceiling
