Installing an electromagnetic flowmeter correctly is essential to ensure accurate and reliable flow measurement in liquid flow applications. These flowmeters are widely used in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, and food manufacturing due to their non-intrusive design and high precision. However, to maximize performance and avoid common installation issues, proper site selection, grounding, and piping configuration must be followed.
The installation methods of electromagnetic flowmeters include flanges, clamps, and threads. But the commonly used installation method is flange installation. Points to note during installation.
-
It should be installed at the lower part of the horizontal pipeline and vertically upwards, avoiding the installation at the highest point of the pipeline and vertically downwards;
-
It should be installed on the rise of the pipeline;
-
Install in the open discharge pipeline, it should be installed in the lower part of the pipeline;
-
If the pipe drop exceeds 5m, install an exhaust valve downstream of the sensor;
-
Control and shut-off valves should be installed downstream of the sensor. It should not be installed upstream of the sensor;
-
The sensor must not be installed at the inlet and outlet of the pump, it should be installed at the outlet of the pump.
-
The installation position of the electromagnetic flowmeter should be installed according to the actual needs of the site, but the electrode axis must be installed horizontally.
-
The electromagnetic measuring tube must be completely filled with the pipe section during the working time on site.
-
The flow direction of the measured medium should be consistent with the direction of the arrow on the electromagnetic flowmeter.
-
If the measured medium contains solid particles or slurry, it is recommended to install it vertically (flowing from bottom to top). Avoid depositing solid particles in the measuring tube of the flow meter.
