PanaFlow™ LC User’s Manual 103
Appendix B. Using the Clamping Fixtures
To install the UCF, complete the following steps:
1. Choose a location for the installation that has at least 10 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow
upstream and at least 5 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow downstream from the
measurement point.
2. Prepare the pipe where you intend to place the UCF by making sure it is clean and free of loose
material. Sanding, though usually not required, may be necessary to remove any high spots. However,
be careful to preserve the original curvature of the pipe.
3. Use a level to find the top of the pipe and then draw a line parallel to the centerline of the pipe.

4. Using a level and center punch, make two marks on the line drawn in step 3. These marks must be
separated by the transducer spacing distance S, as calculated by the flowmeter.

5. From one of the marks on the top of the pipe, measure around the pipe a distance equal to 1/4 of the
pipe circumference, or a distance that will satisfy the orientation found in Step 1. Use the center
punch to make a mark at this point.
