2.3 Site Considerations
Proper installation of the PanaFlow™ LC is important to achieve optimum performance from the system. The
following installation recommendations provide general guidelines of how this system should be installed. If
the following recommendations cannot be met, please consult the factory for a more detailed review of the
application to see what performance may be achievable. Following these recommendations may not be the
solution for all, since every installation is different.
2.4 Clamping Fixtures and Transducer Installations
Installation of clamp-on transducers for transit-time measurements consists of mounting the clamping
fixture to the pipe and then mounting the transducers into the clamping fixture. When installing
transducers in clamp-on applications, you can use one of the following methods to hold the transducer
against the pipe wall:
• Strap Clamping Fixture (SCF)
• Universal Clamping Fixture (UCF)
• General Clamping Fixture (GCF, permanent installation)
• Magnetic Clamping Fixture (MCF)
• Small Clamping Fixtures - 6" (150 mm) or 12" (300 mm) long, with Velcro straps (SPCF)
This manual covers the installation for the Strap Clamping Fixture (SCF), while the other fixtures can be
found in the Appendix B. Before beginning the transducer installation, you must determine the number of
traverses for your configuration.
Note: The accuracy and performance of the flowmeter depends on the location, spacing, and alignment of the
transducers. This manual provides general instructions for locating and installing most transducer
types. However, the specific spacing of your transducers is unique to your installation.
