Usage and assembly of ground rings (DN 2 to 25 / 1/12 to 1")
In case the process connections are made of plastic (e.g. flanges or adhesive fittings), the potential
between the sensor and the fluid must be equalised using additional ground rings.
If the ground rings are not installed this can affect the accuracy of the measurements or cause the
destruction of the sensor through the electrochemical erosion of the electrodes.
"
Caution!
• Depending on the option ordered, plastic disks may be installed at the process connections instead
of ground rings. These plastic disks serve only as spacers and have no potential equalization
function. In addition, they provide a sealing function at the interface between the sensor and
process connection. For this reason, with process connections without ground rings, these plastic
disks/seals must not be removed, or must always be installed.
• Ground rings can be ordered separately from Hauser as accessories
When placing the order, make certain that the ground ring is compatible with the material used
for the electrodes. Otherwise, there is a risk that the electrodes may be destroyed by
electrochemical corrosion! Information about the materials can be found on
• Ground rings, including the seals, are mounted within the process connections. Therefore, the
fitting length is not affected.
1.
Loosen the four hexagonal headed bolts (1) and remove the process connection from the
sensor (4).
2.
Remove the plastic disk (3), including the two O-ring seals (2).
3.
Place one seal (2) in the groove of the process connection.
4.
Place the metal ground ring (3) on the process connection.
5.
Now place the second seal (2) in the groove of the ground ring.
6.
Finally, mount the process connection on the sensor again. With plastic process connections,
note the max. torques for lubricated threads (7 Nm).
