Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Electromagnetic flowmeters are widely used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, water treatment, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical, to accurately measure and control the flow of liquids. When an electrically conductive medium (liquid) flows through a measuring tube placed in a magnetic field, the flowing liquid behaves like a conductor moving in a magnetic field, cutting magnetic lines of force. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, an induced potential will be generated on two detection electrodes, and the magnitude of this potential is directly proportional to the speed of the fluid. By measuring this induced potential, the volumetric flow rate of the fluid flowing through the pipe can be calculated. Grounding of the electromagnetic flowmeter is very important, as it directly affects the accuracy of the measurement and the safety of the instrument. Grounding can help eliminate electromagnetic interference, which can come from the electromagnetic fields of surrounding equipment or static electricity generated by the fluid flowing in the pipe itself. Good grounding ensures the purity of the measurement signal and prevents false measurements.

[0003] Currently, the grounding ring on the electromagnetic flowmeter is generally installed on the flange end face of the electromagnetic flowmeter at both ends of the electromagnetic flowmeter pipeline. After the flange on the electromagnetic flowmeter is connected to the flange on the liquid conveying pipeline using bolts, the grounding ring is located between the two flanges. At this time, there are two contact surfaces between the grounding ring and the two flanges. Since there are two flanges on the electromagnetic flowmeter, after installing the grounding ring at both ends of the electromagnetic flowmeter, four leakage points are formed at the installation positions of the two grounding rings.
