• If clamp-on sensors are used, a 2 traverse-type installation is recommended. This is the
easiest and most convenient type of installation, particularly for measuring devices whose
pipe can only be accessed from one side.
• A 1 traverse installation is recommended for the following installation conditions:
• Certain plastic pipes with a wall thickness >4 mm (0.16 in)
• Pipes made of composite materials (e.g. glass-fiber reinforced plastic)
• Lined pipes
• Applications with media with high acoustic damping
