• Determine the number and size of the damping mats that are to be mounted:
– For outer pipe diameters < 900 mm, see page 34.
– For outer pipe diameters > 900 mm, see page 36.
• Cut the damping mats.
• Remove one part of the protective foil, see Fig. 6.6.
• Fix the part of the damping mat without protective foil on the pipe, see Fig. 6.7 a.
• Remove the protective foil bit by bit and fix the damping mat to the pipe at the same time.
• Use a roller to fix the damping mat to the pipe.
• Press the roller on the damping mat.
– First, move the roller from the middle to the edges of the damping mat, see 1 in Fig. 6.7 b.
– Then move the roller in the middle of the damping mat along the pipe circumference, see 2 in Fig. 6.7 b.
• Repeat the steps until all damping mats are fixed to the pipe. The damping mats are mounted edge to edge, see Fig. 6.7
c.
• Depending on the transducer type, it can be necessary to apply additional layers of damping mats, see technical specifi
-
cation, section "Damping mats". Repeat the steps for mounting the damping mats.
• When mounting the transducer, make sure not to mount the transducers on the seams between the damping mats. If the
transducers are mounted on the seams, there must be no gaps between the damping mats under the transducers, this
means the damping mats must be installed edge to edge.
