Tek-Clamp 1200A
4. Mounting
The transducers of the Tek-Clamp 1200A-100F1 can be mounted in 2 ways: the V method and the Z method.
V Method
The V method is a standard installation method and convenient to use for precise measurement of flow. While
installing the two transducers, they are horizontally aligned. The transducers center lines are parallel with the
pipe axis line. They are suitable for pipe diameter range ½” to 16” (DN15 mm-DN400 mm).
Z Method
When the pipe diameter is wide, there are suspended matters in the fluid, or the scaling is too thick, it can inter-
fere with the normal functioning of the flowmeter, this weakens the signal in a V method installation. If this hap-
pens, the Z method of installation is used. It is also called the single sound path as it can directly transfer the
pulse without any reflection required, which is required in V method and therefore has less signal attenuation.
