6F8A0883 (2) Preventing an Empty Pipe Condition Fix the relevant pipes installed on both sides of the detector by attaching fittings, etc. to support the pipe. By supporting the pipes, not only the pipe vibration is reduced but also the damage to the pipes by the electromagnetic flowmeter's weight and the fluid mass (see Figures 4.2 and 4.3).
4.2.2 Installation Procedure In the case that the piping is non-conductive material, make sure to install the grounding rings(option) to each flange of detector using the M4 screw before piping . The M4 screws are prepared to each flange. In addition, in the case of detector with FEP lining, make sure to install the gaskets between grounding ring and lining.
