16 FSM4000 ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER | OI/FSM4000-EN REV. E
… 5 Installation
… Installation conditions
Mounting position
Figure 13: Mounting position
A Vertical installation for measuring abrasive materials,
preferably with flow in upward direction.
B For a horizontal installation, the meter tube must always be
completely filled with the measuring medium.
Provide for a slight incline of the connection for degassing.
Note
For hygienic applications, the vertical mounting position is
preferred.
For a horizontal mounting position, make sure that the sensor is
installed to be self-draining.
Grounding
The flowmeter sensor must be connected to ground potential.
For technical reasons, this potential must be identical to the
potential of the measuring medium.
In piping made of plastic or with insulating liner, grounding of
the measuring medium is done by installing grounding plates.
If stray potential is present in the piping, adding a grounding
plate on both ends of the flowmeter sensor is recommended.
Sensor insulation
Insulation
Figure 14: Insulation of the flowmeter sensor
In the high temperature design, the flowmeter sensor can be
completely thermally insulated. After the unit is installed, the
piping and sensor must be insulated in accordance with the
figure.
