A corresponding collar flange for DN 80 (ASME 3" or JIS 80) as
well as a suitable adapter flange are available for mounting LEVEL
TRANSMITTER 8136.
With the housing versions plastic, aluminium single chamber and
stainless steel, the collar flange can be placed directly over the hous-
ing. With the aluminium double chamber housing, retroactive mount-
ing in this way is not possible - the mounting type must be specified
with the order.
Information:
The mounting socket should be as short as possible and its end
rounded. This reduces false echoes from the vessel mounting socket.

If the medium has good reflective properties, LEVEL TRANSMITTER
8136 can also be mounted on a longer socket piece. Recommended
values for socket heights are specified in the following illustration. You
must carry out a false echo storage afterwards.
The below charts specify the max. socket length h depending on the
