Transducer Mounting Dimensions

All dimensions are inches, millimeters are in parentheses. Certified drawings

are available on request.

Nylon Flow Body

Mount the Mass-Trak to a chassis with two #6, type “B” self-tapping screws.

CAUTION: These screws should extend into the flow body no further than

.15” (4mm). If screws extend further than .15” (4mm), the flow body may

be damaged. See Figure 2-1
