Dear Mr. Mohamed,
thanks for your query,
please note that annular gap can be measured from any part of the CT to the opening, and it shouldn't exceed the maximum that is mentioned on the EJ.

please let us know if you require more support.

Regards,

Alaa

Dear Mr. Mohamed, Please note that we specified two types of annular gaps (Between trays - Between trays & opening), you need to measure from the edges of each tray to the opening, and between the trays, so you don't exceed the limit mentioned in the EJ. Hope it is clear now, let me know if you need further help. Regards, Alaa
