Acoustic waveguide assemblies

摘要

Acoustic waveguides are disclosed for mounting to a conduit. The acoustic waveguides provide a mounting area that minimizes the effect of the mount on the acoustic wave traveling through the waveguide while providing an effective seal, even under high pressure conditions.

主权项

1. An acoustic waveguide assembly for mounting to a conduit, the acoustic waveguide assembly comprising:
an acoustic waveguide comprising a waveguide rod having a proximal end and a distal end; a waveguide sensor connected to the distal end of the waveguide rod; a disk coupler circumferentially surrounding a portion of the waveguide rod, wherein the disk coupler provides a first side and a second side to mount the waveguide rod to the conduit; a nozzle on the first side of the disk coupler; a flange on the second side of the disk coupler, opposite the first side; and a plurality of bolts extending through the flange and through the nozzle to secure the disk coupler therebetween.
