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 each of the marks on the top of the pipe, measure around the pipe in the same direction a
distance equal to 1/4 the pipe circumference. Use the center punch to make a mark at each location.

6. Center one of the blocks over one of the center punch marks on the side of the pipe. Align the block so
that the pressure bolt is directly over the punch mark. Secure the block by wrapping the two steel
straps around both the block and the pipe and tightening the straps.
IMPORTANT: Make sure both straps are perpendicular to the bottom of the block. If the straps are slanted, the
slack will cause the block to move. Also, the transducer spacing dimension may change after the
transducers are mounted.
