PART 2 - TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION



Before the transducer heads are bonded to the pipe
surface, an area slightly larger than the flat surface of the
transducer must be cleaned to bare metal on the pipe.
(Plastic pipes do not require preparation beyond removal
of paint.) Remove all scale, rust and paint. Thoroughly
dry and degrease the mounting surfaces.

NOTE: Small pits in the piping surface typically do not
significantly impact ultrasonic transmission or signal
reception.


After selecting the applicable mounting location and
preparing the piping surface as detailed in Steps A and B,
the transducer can be mounted to the pipe.
