To avoid the impact of noise by vibrations onto the transducer it should be mechanically decou-
pled from the vessel. Especially the steel-to-steel connections on the flange and on the pipe
should be decoupled using elastic material like rubber, plastics or wood. This is illustrated in the
figures below.

Rubber washers (provided by INNOMAR) to be used at the transducer. Note also the ropes to stabilize the pipe.
