Final Mounting Device on Pipe
Actual model of the Hinged Mounting Device.
Solidworks Designs for the Mounting Device
These are images of the Solidworks designs made to mount the transducers to the pipe.
Triangular Mounting Brace
Hinged Mounting Device
Velcro Mounting Device
Uses set screws to constrain the transducer and pipe together without rotation or displacement.
Hinged design clamps around pipe. Transducer fits on top. Foam used to ensure a snug fit.
Constrains pipe snugly. Uses Velcro to attach transducers onto top.
Combined Test Rig
This test rig allows us to use both flow meters to capture the same flow, providing a side-by-side comparison.
The first image shows the left side of the test rig.
The second image shows the transducers collecting data simultaneously.
The third image is a screenshot of the data captured by the transducers.
The fourth image is the right side of the test rig.
