If the solids have good reflective properties you can also install the Nico 15 on longer pipe sockets. Guide
values for socket heights are shown in the figure below. After this you must also save the interference signal.

Tip:
For new systems it is a good idea to angle the vessel socket towards the discharge. This results in less
interference reflection from the vessel wall and measurements are possible right into the conical discharge.
