Description of the Horn Antenna Gauge, RTG 2920.
The Horn Antenna Gauge is designed for easy mounting in small
size openings on tanks with fixed roof. A flange with a diameter of
8" is enough to mount the RTG 2920.
The RTG 2920 is designed for measurement of a variety of oil
products and chemicals except for bitumen/asphalt and similar
products where the Parabolic Antenna Gauge RTG 2930 is recom-
mended.
The wide beam of the Horn Antenna Gauge is a disadvantage in
narrow tanks with internal structures. In such cases the Parabolic
Antenna Gauge is generally recommended.
The Horn Antenna Gauge is delivered with one of two types of
flanges. One flange is for straight mounting. The other flange is
used for inclined mounting.
See also chapter 10.1 for installation requirements for the Horn
Antenna Gauge.
