Series S34 Clamp-On Flow Meter Installation
Prior to installing the SonoPro
®
transducers, a clean pipe surface needs to be
established. Remove any rust or loose paint or debris to make a smooth sur-
face. Choose a section of sound conducting pipe for installing the transduc-
ers. The application should be checked to ensure that air bubbles and partic-
ulate are at a minimum.
Transducer Mounting Methods
There are three typical mounting methods available. These include the Z
method, which is a single traverse across the pipe, the V method, which is
two traverses across the pipe, and the W method, which is 4 traverses across
the pipe. Each method has its own merits. The V method is by far the most
common for most applications from 4-inch to 12-inch pipe. The W method is
used for smaller pipes, i.e. line sizes ½-inch to 4-inch. The Z method is used
when there is poor signal strength or on pipes larger than 12-inch.
