For mounted sensors
January 1st 2008 In order to ensure that sensors are
correctly mounted, Katronic
Technologies has traditionally
used three types of coupling gel,
each of which is applicable to a
certain temperature range.
Although Katronic has no reported
incidents of failure owing to a loss
of coupling, customers are
occasionally concerned that this
could be an issue, particularly on
measurements where there is a
strong likelihood of condensation.
Katronic has introduced a new
coupling system designed to give
the best possible installation
conditions and provide the
customer with the confidence they
would expect from a conventional
metering system. Rather than
using a jelly-based substance the
new Clamp-On Ultrasonic Sensors
coupling is based on the use of a
variety of different solid pads,
which conduct the ultrasonic
signals and ensure that there is the
best possible interface between
sensor and pipeline. More articles from Katronic Technologies Ltd: |
