Electromagnetic Flowmeter Detector 2-21
To install a wafer detector on a PVC pipe using SUS grounding ring material
with rubber gaskets and a low fastening torque:
CAUTION
The use of rubber gaskets and a lower fastening torque is not recommended and
can cause insufficient surface pressure between the lining and the grounding ring,
resulting in leakage.
(1) Remove the grounding ring from the detector and insert a rubber gasket 0.5 to 1.0
mm (0.02 to 0.04 inch) thick between the lining and the grounding ring.
(2) Reinsert the grounding ring on top of the rubber gasket.
(3)
With the rubber gasket in the position shown in the following figure, attach the
detector to the pipe. In the example shown, both rubber gaskets are made of the
same material.
Lining
Rubber gasket
3 to 4 mm
(0.12 to 0.16 inch)
Grounding ring Rubber gasket
0.5 to 1 mm
(0.02 to 0.04 inch)
