V-MOUNT AND W-MOUNT INSTALLATION

Application of Couplant

For DTTN, DTTL, and DTTH transducers, place a single bead of couplant, approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick, on the flat

face of the transducer. See

Figure 12

. Generally, a silicone-based grease is used as an acoustic couplant, but any grease-like

substance that is rated not to “flow” at the temperature that the pipe may operate at will be acceptable. For pipe surface

temperature over 130° F (55° C), Sonotemp® (P.N. D002-2011-010) is recommended.
