Standpipes and Stilling Wells
In many applications, access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases,
Milltronics can provide factory flanged transducers or split flange kit that will
readily mate to the flanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the
transducer from a blind flange.
The standpipe length should be as short and the diameter as large as
possible. As a rule of thumb, the -3 dB cone of the sound beam should not
intersect the standpipe wall in applications opening into a vessel or larger
area. Otherwise, additional blanking will be required to compensate for the
interference zone created by the opening.
Note: When using a stilling well, make sure there is no build-up, welds, couplings,
or other debris on the inside of the well wall. This can affect reliability of level
measurement.
