6. Transducer Mounting Methods
Clamp-on Sensors
There are 2 mounting methods, ‘V’ and ‘Z’. Usually V method is used as standard because it provides longer
signal path and therefore more accurate measurement of flow velocity. It is recommended for pipes sizes
between 25~6000mm. Special attention should be given when mounting transducers to ensure that sensors
are aligned in direct line and along the center of the pipe and the transducer mounting line should be aligned.
Z method is recommended when the flow condition is bad because of scale built up inside the pipe,
entrained air bubbles, too thick liner, etc. which can induce a lot of noise into signal. Using this method, the
signal is dispersed in a straight path reducing the possibility of noise induction.
The user can verify whether the mounting is done correctly or not by checking the received signal strength,
total travel time, time difference and rate of travel time, which are described below;
