B.1 Using the Universal Clamping Fixture - UCF
This section of the manual provides installation instructions for other clamping fixtures offered by BHGE.
The Universal Clamping Fixture (UCF) (see Figure 82 below) acts as a spacing device and a transducer holder.
The UCF includes one fixed short block and one adjustable short block Two slide tracks are included to
connect the two short blocks. A ruler attached to one of these slide tracks helps to set the transducer
spacing. For even traverse installations, a long block is also used.
The UCF is chained or strapped around the pipe, and the blocks are used to hold the transducers in position
for accurate measurements. The blocks must be positioned properly using the spacing dimension calculated
by the flowmeter. Then, the transducers are mounted into the blocks.
