adhesive (Dow-732). Spread a bead of the adhesive
on the flat surface of the transducer face, covering
well. Now spread a bead to the prepared pipe
surface and press the head lightly to the pipe. Let the
adhesive flow enough to fill in all the area beneath the
head. At the same time, clamp (clamp supplied) into
place until the silicone has set up. Taping along the
edges of the head will hold the adhesive in place. A
pad of adhesive must be formed between the
transducer face and the pipe. Ensure that no relative
movement between the transducer and the pipe takes
place during the setup time (about 24 hours). Clamp
transducer only tight enough to hold it in place while
the adhesive is curing. Tighten for mechanical
strength only after 24 hours. Secure the conduit as
well.
3. Temporary Mounting and Spot Checks:
For temporary mounting, clean pipe as described and
use silicone grease as the acoustical coupling
material, holding by hand for spot readings or with a
strap clamp for indefinite periods.
