TTFM 6.1 Transit Time Flow Meter
SENSOR COUPLING
For permanent or temporary bonding, the following are recommended:
a) Super Lube® (supplied)
Additional supply: order Greyline Option CC-SL30 or your local home improvement store.
b) Water-based sonic compound: Order Greyline Option CC30
c) Electrocardiograph gel
d) Petroleum gel (Vaseline)
The above are arranged in their order of preferred application. Option d is only good for temporary
bonding at room temperature. DO NOT USE: Silicon RTV caulking compound (silicon rubber).
Use the pipe clamp and rail (supplied) as illustrated on previous page. Apply
Super Lube® to the colored face of the sensor. A bead, similar to toothpaste on
a toothbrush, is ideal. Do not overtighten (crush the sensor).
The sensor must be fixed securely to the pipe with coupling material
between the sensor face and the pipe. Sensor installation with
excessive coupling compound can result in gaps or voids in the
coupling and cause errors or loss of signal. Insufficient coupling
compound will create similar conditions.
Over time temporary coupling compounds (e.g. Petroleum Gel) may gradually sag away from the sensor
resulting in reduced signal strength and finally complete loss of signal. Warm temperatures, moisture
and vibration will accelerate this process. Super Lube® as supplied with the TTFM 6.1 (and available
from Greyline Instruments or home improvement stores) is recommended for permanent installations.
Transducer Installation in Wet Locations
The TTFM 6.1 Transit Time Flowmeter transducers are
rated for accidental submersion up to 10 psi (0.75 bar). The
flowmeter will continue to operate and measure flow
accurately during periods of submergence. Plastic seal
jackets on the cables must be filled with coupling compound
to provide additional moisture protection for the BNC cable
connectors.
