(1) Validated for ambient temperature range -40 °F to 185 °F (-40 °C to 85 °C).
(2) Accuracy may be affected up to + 1.2 in. (30 mm).
(3) Required chamber/pipe size is 3 or 4 in. (75 -100 mm).
Interface measuring range
The maximum allowable upper product thickness/measuring range is primarily
determined by the dielectric constants of the two liquids.
Typical applications include interfaces between oil/oil-like and water/water-like liquids,
with a low (<3) dielectric constant for the upper product and a high (>20) dielectric
constant for the lower product. For such applications, the maximum measuring range is
limited by the length of the coaxial, large coaxial, rigid twin, and rigid single lead probes.
For flexible probes, the maximum measuring range is reduced by the maximum upper
product thickness, according to the diagram below. However, characteristics may vary
between the different applications. Maximum distance to the interface is 164 ft. (50 m)
minus the maximum upper product thickness.
