5.3Mounting on a floating roof tank

There are three methods of mounting the 4532 ATC on a floating roof tank:

Top anchor method

Thermo well method

Guide wire ring method

Note! If the tank bottom has a heating coil, the clearance from the flexible tube or probe bottom hook to the tank bottom must increase according to the heating coil type.

5.3.1Top anchor method

The flexible tube is installed in a fixed pipe and stabilized by a top anchor. The 6000 Series Servo Tank Gauge and 4532 ATC can be mounted in the same fixed pipe.
