Step 2 – Transducer Spacing

The transmitter can be used with five different transducer types: DTTN, DTTL, DTTH, DTTS and DTTC. Meters that utilize

the DTTN, DTTL or DTTH, transducer sets consist of two separate sensors that function as both ultrasonic transmitters and

receivers. DTTS and DTTC transducers integrate both the transmitter and receiver into one assembly that fixes the separation

of the piezoelectric crystals. DTTN, DTTL and DTTH transducers are clamped on the outside of a closed pipe at a specific

distance from each other.

The DTTN, DTTL and DTTH transducers can be mounted in:

• W-Mount where the sound traverses the pipe four times. This mounting method produces the best relative travel

time values but the weakest signal strength.

• V-Mount where the sound traverses the pipe twice. V-Mount is a compromise between travel time and

signal strength.

• Z-Mount where the transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe and the sound crosses the pipe once.

Z-Mount will yield the best signal strength but the smallest relative travel time.

Table 2: Transducer mounting modes — DTTN, DTTL, and DTTH

For further details, reference Figure 9. The appropriate mounting configuration is based on pipe and liquid characteristics.

Selection of the proper transducer mounting method is not entirely predictable and many times is an iterative process.

Table 2 contains recommended mounting configurations for common applications. These recommended configurations may

need to be modified for specific applications if such things as aeration, suspended solids, out of round piping or poor piping

conditions are present. Use of the flow meter diagnostics in determining the optimum transducer mounting is covered later

in this section.
