Figure 4: Recommended Installation Location and Orientation
• If the clamping fixture is to be placed downstream of an elbow, the orientation of the clamping fixture must be
placed in such a way that the transducer path is perpendicular to the plane of the piping to compensate for
swirl.
• For permanent installations, the clamping fixture should be oriented in a way where the transducer paths are out
of the vertical plane. Pipe fouling can produce erroneous meter readings. If this placement contradicts with the
placement listed in the previous note, then the fixture can be oriented in the 11-5 o'clock or 1-7 o'clock positions.
NEVER orient the transducers in the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock positions.
• Once the location has been scoped out, make sure there is enough clearance around the area to install the
clamping fixture and transducers.
