    LRF-3000H Handheld Ultrasonic Flowmeter free of excessive corrosion or scaling. 4. Transducer Installation 4.1. Installing the Transducers Before installing the transducers, clean the pipe surface where the transducers are to be mounted. Remove any rust, scale or loose paint and make a smooth surface. Apply a wide band of sonic coupling compound down the center of the face of each transducer as well as on the pipe surface, and then attach the transducers to the pipe with the straps provided and tighten them securely.
  • Page 13: Z Method

    LRF-3000H Handheld Ultrasonic Flowmeter 4.1.3. Z Method The signal transmitted in a Z method installation has less attenuation than a signal transmitted with the V method. This is because the Z method utilizes a directly transmitted (rather than reflected) signal which transverses the liquid only once.
