Abstract
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.

3. 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, and a tube coupler circumferentially surrounding a portion of the waveguide rod, wherein the tube coupler provides a surface to mount the waveguide rod to the conduit; and a middle flange comprising a port for accessing the inside of the conduit located between a first flange terminating a first section of the conduit and second flange terminating a second section of the conduit, wherein the tube coupler is inserted into the port of the middle flange such that the waveguide sensor extends into the conduit. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
