What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing in-situ level gauges on the head and the body of a horizontal tank?

Which type is more common these days? O(∩_∩)O Thank you
Placed on the abdomen, it is more common on the side.
There is little contact with them; I only see them on the cylinder body, including those that are vertical. I’ve never seen any on the end caps
The vertical one is definitely on the cylinder. . I have drawn both types of horizontal ones
The head is a special pressure-bearing component; it seems that creating openings in the head is not as casual as creating openings in the cylinder body.
I asked yesterday, and there were many different opinions. .
Vertical tanks usually have them on the belly, while horizontal tanks may have them on the head; however, no other items are generally installed on the head! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
On the cover of a horizontal tank, we usually install things like a level gauge or a purging port; nothing else is placed there
The condition I impose is definitely related to the stomach. 1. Generally, holes made in the belly are not made in the cover. 2. Moreover, it has a large belly, providing more areas where holes can be made. 3. Level gauges with direct readings are usually quite long; I generally install them next to the ladder. Since the ladder is on the belly, the level gauge is there as well.
I think it’s better to make the cut on the cylinder. The openings in the head should be positioned as far away as possible from areas more than 80% Di away. The opening of the level gauge should be made as large as possible to ensure it falls within the measurement range. Otherwise, a portion of the liquid level below will not be measurable. On the head, it’s necessary to keep it as low as possible, as it’s easy to reach the transition zone of the head.
