Installation
Grounding
Grounding the flowtube is one of the most important details of flowtube
installation. Proper grounding ensures that only the voltage induced in
the flowtubes magnetic field is measured.
Model 8705 Use Table 2-5 to determine which grounding option figure to use for
proper installation.
NOTE
Consult factory for installations requiring cathodic protection or
situations where high currents or high potential exist in the process.
