Nozzle location
Beam angle
●
Beam angle is the width of the cone where the energy density is half of the peak energy
density.
●
The peak energy density is directly in front of and in line with the rod antenna.
●
There is a signal transmitted outside the beam angle, therefore false targets may be
detected.
①
Min. 300 mm (1 ft) per 3 m (10') of vessel height
②
Emission cone
③
Beam angle 28°
Emission cone
●
Keep emission cone free of interference from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling streams.
●
Locate the antenna away from the side wall, to avoid interference from indirect echoes.
●
Make allowance for the emission cone spreading: allow a minimum of 300 mm (1 ft) for
every 3 m (10 ft) of vessel height.
