Abstract
A sensor-clamp device for clamping a pipe of different outer-diameters promptly without having to do a time-consuming sensor-position adjustment includes a pair of ultrasonic-sensors incorporating an ultrasonic-transducer for sending and receiving ultrasonic-waves 'So' and further includes a supporting-plate on which is provided a sliding-mechanism. The pair of ultrasonic-sensors clamps the outer-wall of the pipe in which flows a fluid W. Of the supporting-plate, the pair of ultrasonic-sensors used in irradiating the ultrasonic-waves 'So' obliquely to the pipe are offset in the axial-line direction of the pipe and firmly placed face to face. The sliding-mechanism slides one of the pair of ultrasonic-sensors obliquely with respect to the axial-line direction of the pipe, thus making the sliding-mechanism to clamp the pipe of various outer-diameters.
