The quartz seal is not suitable for use in environments where there is a risk for variations or other
mechanical impacts.
For quartz seal, mechanical shocks may permanently damage the seal. A damaged tank seal must be
replaced. Replacement must be done when the tank is unpressurized.
The customer must always make sure that exposed material of antenna and tank seal is compatible with
the tank content (e.g. the quartz seal) is not suitable for use with Hydrofluoric acid (HF).
A damaged quartz tank seal will typically cause one or many disturbance echoes which will be seen in a
tank spectrum plot during gauge configuration.
