A transducer mounting apparatus (10) is disclosed which includes a two-piece mounting bracket (20) and a verification device (100). The two-piece mounting bracket (20) includes a precisely machined base plate (22) and sliding plate (60). At least one transducer (150) is mounted to the sliding plate (60) and the sliding plate (60) is slideably coupled to the base plate (22) for precisely mounting and slideably positioning at least the one transducer (150) adjacent a 'target' to be monitored thereby. The verification device (100) couples to the base plate (22) and is employed in a method for calibrating and verifying the operation of at least the one transducer (150) prior to at least the one transducer (150) being mechanically locked into position by rigidly securing the sliding plate (60) to the base plate (22).
