Ultrasonic Prophet Installations
“A” is NOT a good installation, since the bung opening is less than 1/3 the tank diameter
away from the edge of the tank. In this example, a Differential Pressure Prophet will
have to be used instead of the Ultrasonic Prophet.
“B” is a GOOD installation. The bottom of the Prophet is into the tank, and the Prophet
is mounted plumb and close to the center of the tank.
“C” is NOT a good installation, since the Prophet cannot be mounted plumb. In this type
of installation, the ultrasonic signal will not bounce directly from the product back to the
sensor, but will instead bounce around the inside of the tank, causing inaccurate or even
no reading. In this example, a Differential Pressure Prophet will have to be used instead
of the Ultrasonic Prophet.
NOTE:
For installation geometry other than those shown, contact SupplyNet
