10.7.2 Mounting the Transducers with Mounting Shoes and Tension
Straps
Mounting the Transducers with Clasps
• Cut the tension straps (pipe circumference + 120 mm).
• Make sure that part (2) of the clasp is on top of part (1) (see Fig. 10.8). The hooks of
part (2) must be on the outer side of the clasp.
• Pull approx. 2 cm of the tension strap through the slot of the clasp (see Fig. 10.9) to fix
the clasp to the tension strap.
• Bend the end of the tension strap back. Push the other end of the tension strap through
the groove on the top of the mounting shoe.
• Place the clasp on the side of the pipe. Turn the tension strap around the pipe (see Fig.
10.10).
• Place the mounting shoe on the pipe. Hold clasp and mounting shoe with one hand
while pushing the tension strap through parts (2) and (1) of the clasp (see Fig. 10.8).
• Pull the tension strap firmly and engage it in the inner hooks of the clasp.

Note! The clasp must be in contact completely with the pipe to ensure a
good fixation.
Note! At pipes with large diameters, use tongs, if necessary, to tense the
tension strap.
