10.4.1. Z mounting method
Z method is the most commonly used mounting method for insertion-type
ultrasonic flowmeters, suitable for pipe diameters ranging from 50mm to 2000mm.
Due to strong signal strength and high measurement accuracy, the Z method is
preferable for pipe sections severely rusted or with too much scale formation on
the inside wall. When installing the transducer using the Z method, be sure that
the two transducers and the pipeline center axis are in the same plane, but never
in the 6 or 12 o’clock positions. see below:
