I want to know what is the different between a diaphragm seal capillary level transmitter that has a capillary tube welded at the bottom of the flange(pancake type) and one with capillary tube welded at the middle of the flange?

Are there any differences in applications between the two type? In both cases, I am using a flushing ring.

 

Guys can't attempt to stand on the radial mounted capillary (pancake style) to reach something, when the flange is mounted in the vertical plane, because the capillary doesn't stick out horizontally.

Guys can and will attempt to stand on the axial mounted capillary (mounted in middle of the flange) because it sticks out horizontally.
