4.3.3 Installing the Fixture
During this procedure you will be required to place the fixture and transducers on the pipe more than once, and in
some cases, as many as 3 times. The fixture and transducers are placed on the pipe temporarily for two purposes:
• To mark where the fixture and transducers make contact with the pipe so those sections can be cleaned
• As a reference for placing the dampening material
Use the steps below to begin installation:
1. Remove any pipe insulation from the installation site.
Note: Make sure you clear an area that is large enough for the transducers and dampening material installation.
2.
Disassemble the fixture by removing the four nuts from the threaded rods and pulling apart the two halves of the
fixture.
Make note of the assembled fixture to make sure you reassemble it the same way. Otherwise, the transducer
Note:
spacing will be incorrect.
3. Position the clamping fixture as close as possible to the horizontal plane. The fixture should be positioned so the
transducers will be located on the opposite sides of the pipe 180
IMPORTANT: Do not place the fixture on the pipe so that the transducers are at the top or bottom of the pipe.
Note: Make sure you reassemble the fixture properly to ensure the correct transducer spacing. If the fixture has
rulers on the rails, make sure the zero points on each ruler are at the same end of the fixture as shown below.
