8.6 Installation 45° angle: centre line sensors / run pipe
FGM160 Sensors: 6”- 10”  pipe: 42° / 48°,
12”- 72”  pipe: 45° / 45°
Sensor angles: either 42° / 48°, or 45° / 45° depending on
FGM160 Dual-Path
pipe diameter (see note 6.1)
FGM160 & Special metering / welding jigs to be used during installation
FGM160 Dual-Path of sensor holders

Note 6.1: the installation angle of the ultrasonic sensor is either 42°/48°, or 45°/45° depending
on the diameter of the pipe and offset (from the diameter) of the ultrasonic paths in the pipe.
Typically for smaller pipes (up to 12” to 14”) angles of 42°/48° are used, and for larger pipe
sizes 45°/45° are used. See document 62.120.001 for details.
