Flush mounting
The best way to mount the sensor, also with respect to cleanability,
is flush on a block flange (flange without socket piece) or through a
hygienic fitting.
Mounting on socket
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8138 on a socket piece. You will find recom-
mended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The
socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
Then carry out a false echo storage.
