ABSTRACT:
An improved bracket apparatus for measuring the flow rate of a fluid comprising an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit for the passage of fluid therethrough. Each conduit has a flange with bolt holes therein. The apparatus also includes a magnetic flowtube having an orifice for the passage of fluid therethrough. The input and output ends of the flowtube each having a flange with bolt holes therein aligned with the bolt holes of the conduits. Electrically conductive brackets are positioned between the ends of the flowtube and the adjacent ends of the conduits with each bracket having an aperture in axial alignment with the orifices of the flowtube and the conduits. Each bracket also has bolt holes extending therethrough axially aligned with bolt holes of the flowtube and the conduits. The brackets are of a size and shape for providing a support for the flow meter. Electrically conductive bolts extend through the bolt holes of the flowtube and the brackets to define an electrically conductive grounding path between the flowing fluid to the flowtube. Also disclosed is the method of measuring the flow rate with the apparatus.
