Electromagnetic Flowmeter Detector
To install a flanged detector on a PVC pipe using non-SUS grounding ring
material with rubber gaskets and a low fastening torque:
(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.
(2) Reinsert the grounding ring on top of the rubber gasket.
(3) Remove the PTFE gasket and insert a rubber gasket 3.0 to 4.0 mm (0.12 to 0.16
inch) to replace it.
(4) With the rubber gaskets in the position shown in the following figure, attach the
detector to the pipe. Both rubber gaskets should be made of the same material.
