A measurement system for determining a physical parameter of a pipe-fluid system includes a pair of confining elements configured to decrease surface vibration deformations at an outer surface of each end of the pipe-fluid system; wherein each confining element comprise a supporting frame configured to be detachably mounted on a pipe of the pipe-fluid system; and a fixation element configured to be detachably mounted for mechanically coupling the supporting frame with an outer surface of the pipe; an excitation system, configured to generate a mechanical vibration spectrum at a surface of the pipe-fluid system; and a vibration measurement device configured to be mechanically coupled to an outer surface of the pipe-fluid system, and configured to provide a mechanical vibration spectrum of the pipe-fluid system.

A helical strake pole system that includes a tubular pole having a longitudinal axis and threaded attachment points. The system further includes a helical strake fin disposed circumferentially around a portion of the tubular pole along the longitudinal axis. The system further includes couplers disposed on the tubular pole. The couplers are configured such that each coupler has a first portion with a slot configured to receive an upper portion of the helical strake fin and a second portion configured to removably coupled to a threaded attachment point of the tubular pole. In addition, each coupler is configured to position a portion of the helical strake fin substantially perpendicular to a surface of the tubular pole.
