Flexible PVDF comb transducers are easy to install by wrapping around any size pipe. They are capable of exciting lower order axisymmetric modes with minimal radial displacement and maximum axial displacement. The simple fabrication process, installation, and affordability of these transducers makes them realistic candidates for condition-based monitoring of some critical pipeline applications.
