Step 1: Selection of measurement point & pipe preparation
● Avoid installation of sensors in the vicinity of deformations and
pipe defects, near welding seams or where deposits could have
accumulated.
● Select a measuring point with sufficient straight pipe to obtain
accurate measurements. Please consult the manual for the
recommended distances from sources of disturbance.
● For a horizontal pipe, mount the sensors on the side of the
pipe. For a vertical pipe, mount the sensors at a location where
the liquid flows upwards. (Pic 1)
● Mount the sensors in the direction of the flow. (Pic 2)
● Clean the pipe at the measurement point. Remove loose paint
and rust with a wire brush or file.
● Apply coupling paste to the face of the clamp-on sensors before
attaching them to the pipe.
