Claim 10:
11. An inline transducer housing assembly, comprising:
a circular head section having a circular ledge adapted to interface with a circular shelf integrated in a flow tube;
a square or rectangular alignment section extending from the circular head section within the circular shelf and adapted to interface with a square or rectangular portal formed between the shelf and an inner surface of the flow tube, said square or rectangular alignment section having a reduced surface area to reduce upshot force on the square or rectangular alignment section by fluid flowing through the flow tube;
a transducer holder extending from the square or rectangular alignment section into an inner area of the flow tube wherein fluid flows through the flow tube, said transducer holder adapted to retain a first transducer in alignment with a second transducer retained in a second transducer holder located in the flow tube downline from said transducer holder, said transducer holder formed in a fluid flow enhancing profile and configured to retain a flow conditioner in front of the fluid flowing through the flow tube;
a positioner formed on and extending from the transducer holder opposite the circular head section, said positioner configured to interface with a notch formed in the inner surface of the flow tube opposite the square or rectangular portal, said positioner further configured to secure the transducer holder and the first transducer held in alignment with fluid flowing through the flow tube;
a first narrow support formed between the transducer holder and the square or rectangular alignment section and adapted to interface with the square or rectangular portal formed between the circular shelf and an inner surface; and
a second narrow support formed between the first holder and the positioner formed on and extending from the second narrow support opposite the transducer holder.
