5.4 Installing the Magnetic Clamping Fixture - MCF
The Magnetic Clamping Fixture (MCF) is used to fasten transducers to the pipe at the proper spacing without chains or
straps. The MCF is used on ferrous pipe materials only.
Different fixtures are used for a single- and double-traverse installation. Each type of MCF has magnets at either end of
the fixtures. When the magnets are turned ON, the fixture magnetically "clamps" to the pipe wall.
To properly mount the MCF, you should become familiar with the components of each type of fixture.
