AVFM 6.1 Area-Velocity Flow Meter 

SE4 SENSOR MOUNTING 
Dual Sensor Configuration 

 

Prepare an area 2" wide by 4" long (50mm x 100mm) for sensor bonding by removing loose paint, scale 
and rust. The objective of site preparation is to eliminate any discontinuity between the sensor and the 
pipe wall, which would prevent acoustical coupling. 

A PC4 Sensor Mounting Kit is supplied with each Greyline SE4 sensor. It includes recommended 
coupling compound in a plastic applicator and a stainless steel mounting bracket with adjustable pipe 
straps.
