YOKOGAWA AXW Series Installation Manual

• Installation: Natural soft rubber/Polyurethane
rubber lining type and Metal pipe
When a magnetic owmeter with natural soft rubber
or polyurethane rubber lining is installed to metal
pipe without lining, the installation method without
grounding ring is recommended.
In the case grounding ring is not used, with grounding
wire (supplied by customer), connect between the
pipe and the sensor ange, or between the transmitter
and the grounding terminal of terminal box. For
grounding in detail, read Subsection 4.4.3.
For gasket A (customer pipe side), use non-asbestos
joint sheet gasket, PTFE-sheathed non-asbestos joint
sheet gasket or gasket with the equivalent hardness.

For a owmeter with uorocarbon PTFE lining, it is
possible that the nuts may loosen as time passes,
so tighten them regularly. Be sure to tighten the nuts
according to the prescribed torque values. Tighten them
diagonally with the same torque values, step by step up
to the prescribed torque value.
