For electromagnetic flowmeters, especially those equipped with intelligent LCD displays, the installation location should avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, and the ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 55°C. The following are issues to avoid when installing electromagnetic flowmeters: 1. Stay away from strong interference sources. Choose a location free from strong electromagnetic field radiation to install the electromagnetic flowmeter, avoiding devices that are prone to causing electromagnetic interference such as motors, transformers, and frequency converters. The measurement principle of electromagnetic flowmeters is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction; the raw signal generated by them is extremely weak, less than a millivolt. If there is strong electromagnetic field radiation near the flow meter, it will affect the accuracy of the measurements and may even prevent the meter from functioning properly. 2. Length of straight pipe sections: Try to avoid components that can cause eddies, such as various valves, elbows, bypasses, etc. Extend the straight pipe sections upstream and downstream of the flow meter as much as possible; if necessary, install straightening tubes. Ensure that the upstream straight pipe section is at least 5 DN (the diameter of the measuring tube), while the downstream section should be at least 3 DN. 3. The liquid conductivity must be uniform and stable. Do not install the flow meter in areas where the conductivity of the fluid being measured is highly uneven. If different media are injected upstream, it will lead to uneven conductivity and affect the measurements. In this case, it is recommended to move the injection port downstream; if injection from upstream is necessary, it should be placed as far away from the flow meter as possible. It is advisable to maintain a distance of at least 20 DN to ensure thorough and even mixing of the liquid. 4. Keep the electrode axis level. The connection of the electromagnetic flowmeter should comply with the installation guidelines. Note: If constrained by on-site installation conditions, keep the allowable tilt angle ≤ 45°. 5. No bubbles: When designing the pipeline for installing the flow meter, it is necessary to ensure that no bubbles are formed. 6. Full pipe condition in the electromagnetic flowmeter pipeline. The flowmeter can be installed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle. However, the piping design must ensure that the measuring tube is always filled with liquid (full tube). When designing the pipeline, make sure there are no bubbles in the measurement section; otherwise, it will lead to unstable measurements and large deviations. 7. Selection of installation method If the medium to be measured contains solid particles or slurry, it is recommended to install it vertically (with flow from bottom to top) in order to prevent solid particles from depositing inside the meter’s measuring tube. When the flow meter is installed horizontally or at an angle, its electrode axis should be in a horizontal position. If the electrode axis is perpendicular to the ground, bubbles tend to accumulate near the upper electrode. 8. Pipeline Installation Avoid misalignment or tilting of the pipelines upstream and downstream of the flow meter, and ensure they are aligned with the flanges on those sides. Before installation, remove welding residues and protrusions, and place shims. After an electromagnetic flowmeter is installed in a pipeline, welding operations on that section of the pipe should be prohibited to prevent damage to the lining. After-sales service: For the first time of use, our technical engineers can go to the site to guide installation and debugging. Under normal use and within the warranty period, spare parts are replaced and repairs are carried out free of charge; upon receiving a call regarding a malfunction from the customer, if the issue cannot be resolved over the phone, a technician will be sent to the site within 48 hours (except in cases of force majeure). We commit to: providing technical consultation on products; assisting customers with product selection; offering pre-sales, in-sales, and after-sales services; providing training on how to use the products; and delivering all services within our capabilities.
