Abstract

An ultrasonic transducer apparatus for sensing flow velocity through a pipe wall has a pair of strap-on transducer assemblies for securing to an unprepared pipe surface, the energy coupling between each transducer unit and the pipe or other working device being provided by an elastomeric contact pad, which also facilitates rapid replacement of the transducer crystal, by simplified assembly.
