Electromagnetic Flowmeter Detector 2-17
To install a wafer detector on a metal pipe using non-SUS grounding ring
material with rubber gaskets:
CAUTION
The use of anything other than the PTFE gaskets provided can result in leakage.
The use of rubber gaskets is not recommended and can cause 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) 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.
See Table 2-3 on page 2-11 and Table 2-4 on page 2-11 for the rubber gasket
dimensions.
