When checking for leaks, an operator uses a magnetic holder to hold the accelerometer against the surface being analyzed. The problem with this type of holder is that it can fall off a hydrant or curb stop. Because accelerometers are usually expensive instruments, damage is a serious problem. To solve this problem, an accelerometer clamp was devised to secure it. Construction materials and costs are given in the article.
