8. MOUNTING OF DETECTOR Selection of mounting location Detector mounting location, i.e., the conditions of the pipe subjected to flow rate measurement exert a great influence on measurement accuracy. So select a location meeting the conditions listed below. (1) There is a straight pipe portion of 10D or more on the upstream side and that of 5D or more on the downstream side.
Page 49
(3) Pipe is always filled with fluid. Neither air bubbles nor foreign materials are contained in the fluid. (4) There is an ample maintenance space around the pipe to which the detector is to be mounted (see figure below). Note 1) Secure an adequate space for allowing a person to stand and work on both sides of a pipe.

FSSE should be used as much as possible for pipes such as old pipes, cast iron pipes, and mortar lining pipes, through which it is difficult for ultrasonic signals to pass.
Page 53
8.3 Processing of mounting surface Eliminate pitting, corrosion, unevenness, etc. with paint thinner and sandpaper from the pipe portion where the detector is to be mounted. Note) In case jute is wound on a pipe, it should be peeled off before the above treatment. When cast iron pipe is used, grind the sensor mounting surface by using a sander for smoothness.

How to mount FSSC to pipe 8.4.1 How to mount a detector (v method) CAUTION When adjusting the length of the rail, make sure to work on the table. Injury or damage of the products may be caused by falling. Please pay attention not to loose screws. (1) Confirm the Item 2.5. (mounting dimension of the sensor) whether or not you have to extend the rail. • Mounting pitch ≤ 300mm ······ Mounting pitch is adjustable without extending the rail. •...
Page 55
For easy use and maintenance Even if extending rail is not required, extend the rail 100mm ( =3.937inch) at least if mounting dimension is 100mm or more, which enable to remove the sensor unit in the middle of the rail without removing the rail from the pipe.
Page 56
(5) Fix the rail with the mounting belt on the pipe to be measured and turn the element holder to attach the transmission surface of the sensor unit on the pipe correctly. Note: Please pay attention to the contacting part as not to attach the rail on the pipe excessively since excessive pressure causes the rail end to come off the pipe depending on size and type of belt, or causes the resin pipe to deform and causes measurement error to occur.
Page 57
(7) If there is not much space to mount since pipe size is small and short length, one of guide rail can be removed and use the rail as a half size as shown below. However, it is available to use only if dimension of mounting pitch is 65mm or less. Mounting pitch Rail end...
Page 58
(5) Fix the rail of sensor unit with mounting belt on the marked line and turn the element holder to attach the surface of the sensor unit to the pipe. Note: Note that excessive pressure may cause the rail end to come off the pipe. Mounting method vary depending on the type of belt.
