1 Safety

WARNING

• Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in serious injury

or death.

• Installation and servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel

only. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
operating instructions, unless qualified.

• Potential electrostatic charging hazard: Rosemount Magnetic flow

meters ordered with non-standard paint options or non-metallic labels
may be subject to electrostatic discharge. To avoid electrostatic charge
build-up, do not rub the flow meter with a dry cloth or clean with
solvents.

• Verify that the operating environment of the sensor and transmitter is

consistent with the appropriate Agency Approval.

• If installed in an explosive atmosphere, verify that the device certification

and installation techniques are suitable for that particular environment.

• To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmosphere,

disconnect power before servicing circuits.

• Explosion hazard: Do not disconnect equipment when a flammable or

combustible atmosphere is present.

• Follow national, local, and plant standards to properly earth ground the

transmitter and sensor. The earth ground must be separate from the
process reference ground.

• Shock hazard: Shut off power before servicing. Do not operate without

power compartment cover.

CAUTION

• The sensor liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Liner damage can

render the sensor useless. Failure to observe these instructions could
result in severe damage to the sensor lining and possible sensor
replacement.

• To avoid possible damage to the sensor liner ends:
— Do not use metallic or spiral-wound gaskets. If spiral wound or

metallic gaskets are required for the application, lining protectors
must be used.

— If frequent removal is anticipated, attach short spool pieces to the

sensor ends.

— Tighten bolts in the proper sequence to the specified torque limits.

Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper sensor operation
and life.

• In cases where high voltage/high current are present near the meter

installation, ensure proper protection methods are followed to prevent
stray voltage/current from passing through the meter. Failure to
adequately protect the meter could result in damage to the transmitter
and lead to meter failure.

• Completely remove all electrical connections from both sensor and

transmitter prior to welding on the pipe. For maximum protection of the
sensor, consider removing it from the pipeline.

1.1 Handling and Lifting Safety

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, follow all
lifting and handling instructions.

• Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible,

transport the system to the installation site in the original shipping
container.

• PTFE-lined sensors are shipped with end covers that protect it from both

mechanical damage and normal unrestrained distortion. Remove the
end covers just before installation.

• Keep the shipping plugs in the conduit ports until you are ready to

connect and seal them. Appropriate care should be taken to prevent
water ingress.

• The sensor should be supported by the pipeline. Pipe supports are

recommended on both the inlet and outlet sides of the sensor pipeline.
There should be no additional support attached to the sensor.

• Use proper PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) including safety glasses

and steel toed shoes.

• Do not lift the meter by holding the electronics housing or junction box.

• The sensor liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything

through the sensor for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner
damage can render the sensor useless.

• Do not drop the device from any height.

1.1.1 Lifting lugs

CAUTION

If provided, use the lifting lugs on each flange to handle the flow meter when
it is transported and lowered into place at the installation site. If lifting lugs
are not provided, the flow meter must be supported with a lifting sling on
each side of the housing.

• Standard pressure 3-in. through 36-in. flanged magnetic flowmeters

come with lifting lugs.

• High pressure (above 600#) 1-in. through 24-in. flanged magnetic flow

meters come with lifting lugs.

3 Location and Position

3.1 Environmental considerations

To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and
excessive vibration. Typical problem areas include the following:

• Tropical/desert installations in direct sunlight

• Outdoor installations in arctic climates

3.2 Upstream and downstream piping

To ensure specified accuracy over widely varying process conditions, it is
recommended to install the sensor with a minimum of five straight pipe
diameters upstream and two pipe diameters downstream from the
electrode plane.

Figure 3-1: Upstream and downstream straight pipe diameters

3.3

A

C

A. Five pipe diameters (upstream)
B. Two pipe diameters (downstream)
C. Flow direction

Installations with reduced upstream and downstream straight runs are
possible. In reduced straight run installations, the meter may not meet
accuracy specifications. Reported flow rates will still be highly repeatable.

B

Flow direction

The sensor should be mounted so that the arrow points in the direction of
flow.
