Issues with the grounding ring setup of electromagnetic flowmeters?
Thread Content
Installation of the grounding ring in electromagnetic flowmeters: Do all electromagnetic flowmeters require a grounding ring? If not, what are the setup requirements?
Not all electromagnetic flowmeters require a grounding ring; it is necessary to install one when the process pipeline is made of non-metallic material, while it can be omitted in the case of metal pipelines. The poster should look at more samples.
It is recommended to implement grounding measures, especially for metal pipes
An electromagnetic flowmeter does not require a grounding ring when installed in metal pipes; however, a grounding connection between the flowmeter and the process flange must still be established. If it is installed on a non-metallic pipe, a grounding ring or grounding electrode should be provided, and then connected to a nearby grounding system via the grounding ring and grounding electrode.
Having studied for an extra year than me makes a real difference!
You’re pretty funny; especially the fact that metal pipes need grounding rings – I don’t get it.
If there is a current in the medium within the pipe, grounding is necessary
Grounding? ? I only know that grounding is required inside the control cabinet – is there grounding in place at the site?
Metal pipes do not require grounding rings, while non-metallic pipes do. A grounding screw can be installed at the flange connection of metal pipes
