Page 13: Chapter 1. Installing Pipe Nozzles
Introduction Before the T5 transducers can be installed into the pipe, you will need to install pipe nozzles. Nozzles may be installed as part of a fabricated spoolpiece or by using the hot or cold tap process with a Panametrics Sensing Nozzle Installation Kit . -
