3.2.7 Suitable mounting position
To minimize signal interference observe the minimum distances in Table 3-14. Examples
of obstacles to avoid are protruding welds, internal installations, agitators, pipes and
nozzles extending into the container, heating coils, inlet streams, ladders, etc. Metallic
objects are a source of bigger interferences than non-metallic objects.
Turbulent applications may require the probe to be anchored to prevent it from contacting
or getting too close to container walls or obstacles.
