Sensor Installation and Connection 3-35

Therefore, the ¾-band mount is the preferable method for mounting

the sensors.
However, a ½-band mount may be appropriate for monitoring under

the following circumstances:

Large pipes with deep minimum flows

Large pipes with excessive silt present

½- (left) and ¾-band (right) mounts

¾-Band Mount

Perform the following procedure to mount the Doppler velocity

sensor and pressure depth sensor (when applicable) in a pipe using

the ¾-band mount:
1. Use a hacksaw to cut the band to the appropriate length. Cut the

band so that, when installed, it will run approximately ¾ of the

length around the inside of the pipe.

Note:

The metal bands come in 8-foot lengths. Some

larger pipes may require attaching two bands together. In

addition, for square-shaped pipes, use a 8-foot straight

metal strip.
