Instrument installation
Choosing the correct installation location and adopting the correct installation method is the key to
using the electromagnetic flow meter. If the installation is wrong,
Not only will it affect the measurement effect, it will also affect the measurement accuracy, it will also
affect the life of the flow meter, and even damage the flow meter.
1. Installation location selection
In order to make the sensor work reliable and stable, the following requirements should be paid
attention to when choosing the installation location:
(1)
Try to avoid ferromagnetic objects and equipment with strong electromagnetic fields (such as
large motors, large transformers, etc.) to prevent magnetic fields from affecting transmission
The working magnetic field and flow signal of the sensor.
(2)
It should be installed in a dry and ventilated place as much as possible , and not in a place
with dampness and water.
(3)
Avoid sun and rain as much as possible, and avoid ambient temperature higher than 60℃
and relative humidity higher than 95%.
(4)
Choose a place that is convenient for maintenance and convenient for activities.
(5)
The flow meter should be installed at the back of the pump, not on the suction side; the valve
should be installed on the downstream side of the flow.
2. Installation requirements
For your correct measurement, you should pay attention to the following requirements when
selecting the location on the pipeline:
(1)
The sensor can be installed on a straight pipe, or on a horizontal or inclined pipe, but the
center connection of the two electrodes is required in a horizontal state.
2) The medium should flow in the full pipe at the installation position to avoid dissatisfied pipe and
gas adhering to the electrode.
(3)
For liquid-solid two-phase fluids, it is best to install vertically to make the sensor lining wear
evenly and prolong the service life.
(4)
When the medium at the installation position of the flow meter is not full, the method of
raising the back-end pipeline of the flow meter can be adopted to make it full.
Install flow meters at the high point and the water outlet.
(5)
Modify the installation method of the pipeline: When the flow rate of the medium does not
meet the requirements, a flow meter with a smaller diameter should be used.
Use reducer pipe or modify part of the pipe to make it the same diameter as the sensor, but the front
and rear straight pipe sections must at least meet the front straight pipe section ≥ 10DN, straight back
pipe ≥ 5DN (DN is pipe diameter).
(6 ) The front and rear straight pipe sections are ≥10DN before the flow meter and ≥5DN at the
back end.
