Claim Text:
1. A mounting insert for positioning an array of ultrasonic transceivers in a flow conduit to sense multiphase flow conditions of fluid in the conduit, comprising: (a) an array of a plurality of ultrasonic transceivers mounted circumferentially about the periphery of the conduit transmitting and receiving energy for travel through the fluid in the conduit; (b) a thermoplastic housing mounted within the flow conduit having an outer surface conforming to an inner diameter of the flow conduit; (c) the thermoplastic housing having a flow passage for passage of the multiphase fluid; (d) the thermoplastic housing having a central collar segment formed about the flow passage having the array of ultrasonic transceivers mounted adjacent an inner wall of the central collar segment therein for transmission of ultrasonic energy into the multiphase fluid in the flow passage.
