System Installation
Spacing & Mounting the Transducers

6. Tighten both straps securely. Ensure the transducer face is aligned
normal to the pipe. The transducer face alignment is particularly
critical on small pipes due to pipe curvature. In the figure below, notice
that the properly installed transducer contacts the pipe at the pipe’s
centerline and that the gaps on either side of the centerline are equal.
Follow these steps for the easiest method of aligning transducers on
small pipes:
a. Secure both transducers to the pipe with pipe clamps, and tighten
the clamps until the transducers fit snugly.
b. Adjust the transducers until the gaps on both sides are equal.
c. While holding the transducers in place, tighten the clamps
sufficiently to prevent the transducers from slipping and to allow
proper flowmeter operation.
