Abstract
A transducer mounting device includes a deformable substrate having a first side and a second side. The deformable substrate defines an aperture having an inner diameter and an outer diameter configured to receive a transducer assembly so that at least a portion of the transducer assembly is disposed in the aperture between the first side and the second side. The deformable substrate has an adhesive layer disposed upon the second side of the deformable substrate. The adhesive layer is configured to adhere the deformable substrate to a surface.
Claims20
A device for mounting a transducer assembly within a vessel, the device comprising:
- a deformable substrate having a first side and a second side, the deformable substrate defining an aperture configured to receive a transducer assembly so that at least a portion of the transducer assembly is disposed between the first side and the second side;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed upon the second side of the deformable substrate, the adhesive layer configured to adhere the deformable substrate to a surface within a vessel.
A system comprising:
- a deformable substrate having a first side and a second side, the deformable substrate defining an aperture configured to receive a transducer assembly so that at least a portion of the transducer assembly is disposed between the first side and the second side;
- an adhesive layer disposed upon the second side of the deformable substrate, the adhesive layer configured to adhere the deformable substrate to a surface within a vessel;
- and
- an epoxy disposed within the aperture, the epoxy configured to affix the transducer assembly to the surface.
A method for mounting a transducer assembly within a vessel, the method comprising:
- adhering a deformable substrate to a surface within a vessel;
- disposing an epoxy within an aperture defined by the deformable substrate;
- and
- disposing a transducer assembly within the aperture so that at least a portion of the transducer assembly is disposed between a first side of the deformable substrate and a second side of the deformable substrate.
