Transit Time Z-mount method:
The Z-mount configuration requires that the second transducer be located directly
opposite the V-mount location (point B). The Z-Mount method requires careful separation
distance measurements. Inaccurate placement may result in insufficient signal strength
and poor accuracy.
Draw a straight centerline, parallel to the center line of the pipe, from the first
transducer location mark (A) through to the second transducer location (B). Place a mark
on the centerline at the correct transducer separation distance.
To locate the opposite mounting point, gift wrapping paper, butcher paper or similar
paper that is long enough to wrap completely around the pipe, is required. The paper
used must have squared edges.
1) Measure the pipe circumference by wrapping the length of paper around the pipe.
2) Align the overlapping side edges of the paper with each other.
3) Mark the paper at the point where the top edges overlap. The distance from the top
edge to the overlap mark will be the pipe circumference.
