  • Page 68 Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.2 Mounting the Insertion Mechanism (cont.) 4. Retract the barrel from the packing gland so that the transducer head is recessed in the packing gland (see Figure 69 below). You will hear the stop ring click when the transducer is fully recessed.
  • Page 69 Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.2 Mounting the Insertion Mechanism (cont.) 6. Lift the gasket and insert the packing tool into the packing nut. By turning the packing tool clockwise, tighten the packing material so that the barrel stays up without support (see Figure 70 below).
  • Page 70 Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.2 Mounting the Insertion Mechanism (cont.) 8. Identify the upstream and downstream transducer assemblies. For Standard Velocity Range applications, the upstream and downstream nozzle designations are interchangeable because the system is bi-directional.

    Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.3 Aligning the Downstream Transducer for Extended Range Installations For extended velocity range applications, the head of the downstream transducer is angled at 6° so that it points upstream (into the flow) by 6°. This allows the ultrasonic signal to be pushed into alignment at very high flow rates. At low flow rates, the beam is wide enough to tolerate the initial 6°...
  • Page 74 Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.3 Aligning the Downstream Transducer (cont.) 3. The primary method for ensuring that the angled transducer head is pointing in the correct direction uses the alignment marks on the downstream nozzle and the downstream Barrel assembly (see Figure 76 below). The alignment marking on the flange at the top of the Barrel must be in alignment with the nozzle, such that the marking falls between the bolt holes straddling the upstream to downstream centerline, as shown below.
  • Page 75 Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.3 Aligning the Downstream Transducer (cont.) 4. Before proceeding, verify that the valve and insertion mechanism are fully bolted in place (see Figure 77 below). Each stud should extend far enough beyond its nut to allow the alignment tool to rest on the stud. Fit the alignment fixture over the nozzle studs so that the two studs straddling the centerline on the nozzle are inserted into the holes on the fixture of the corresponding flange size and rating (3”, 150# or 300#).
  • Page 76 Chapter 4. Inserting T17 Transducers into the Pipe 4.2.3 Aligning the Downstream Transducer (cont.) 8. Place the alignment fixture over the two studs in the flange at the top of the barrel assembly, and rotate the barrel flange until the bubble aligns between the tick marks on the vial (see Figure 79 below). Slowly press the flange toward the insertion mechanism flange until the gasket and raised faces of both flanges are mated.
