When the gas ultrasonic flow sensor is installed, a base needs to be welded on the on-site pipeline first, and whether the installation angle and position of the base are accurate directly affects the installation quality of the flow sensor. The upper part of the base is a regular circular body, the bottom part is an irregular circular body, and the end face of the bottom part is a slant ring surface with an arc, and the arc of the slant ring surface matches the outer diameter of the on-site pipeline. When the base is installed, the installation position of the base needs to be drawn on the on-site pipeline in advance, and generally, a cross intersection point is drawn as the base installation position. However, when the base is welded at the installation point drawn on site, since the base needs to be welded on the on-site pipeline as a whole, it is not easy to align the center of the whole inclined base with the center point of the cross intersection drawn, and in addition, the deformation during welding makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the installation angle after the welding of the base is completed, and in this case, the installation of the sensor is likely to cause the center lines of the two pairs of matched gas ultrasonic flow sensors respectively located on both sides of the pipeline to be different in axis, resulting in poor signal quality and low signal strength of the gas ultrasonic flow sensor.
