General
In a magnetic flowmeter the liquid acts as a moving conductor as it flows through the pipe. The induced
voltage (E) in the liquid is measured by two sensing electrodes mounted opposite each other in the
meter sensing head.
The length of the conductor is equal to the distance between sensing electrodes and also the internal
diameter (D) of the pipe. The flux density is proportional to the coil current (I), times a constant (k).
The above formula can be restated as follows:
E = I x k x D x V
flow Q
V = cross sectional area =A
E = Q x I x 4 x k

Measuring Principle

Operating
Principle
1.2
Operation is based on Faradays Law of Mag-
netic Induction. An electrically conductive liquid
flowing through a magnetic field induces a volt-
age which is perpendicular to this field and to the
direction of the flow. This voltage is proportional
to the average flow velocity. See Figure 1.1.
The mathematical formula describing Faradays
law reads:
E = B x L x V
E = Induced voltage
B = Magnetic field intensity (flux density)
L = Distance between the electrodes
(pipe diameter)
V = Average flow velocity of liquid
The Sparling TigermagEPTM Model FM- 2 , FM 27, FM- 5 and FM- 57 flowmeters are obstructionless
devices for monitoring the volumetric flow of conductive liquids in full closed pipes.
The flowmeter consists of a sensor (wafer or flanged) with a nonmagnetic liner, sensing electrodes and
a measuring transmitter.
1.1
Measuring
System
Note that if I is held constant, E is proportional to Q or the induced voltage is directly proportional to
the average flow rate (V).

1.4.1 ElectrochemicalInterference
The signal voltage is measured by two electrodes. Galvanic elements form on the surface areas
between the ion-conducting liquid and the metal electrodes. The polarization voltages which result
are dependent on temperature, pressure, and the chemical composition of the electrodes and liquid.
These are direct voltages which cannot be predicted and which can be different at each electrode.
The signal voltage must be separated from the interference direct voltage. Proper grounding
eliminates these unpredictable voltages from interfering with the signal voltage.
1.4.2 InductionInterference(Quadrature)
Electrode cables connect the electrodes with the meter electronics. Because these cables must run
within the magnetic field, a voltage is induced which is proportional to the rate of change of the
magnetic field strength. The meter design minimizes the length of conductor within the magnetic field
in order to keep the value of this interference as low as possible.
1.4.3 OtherInterferenceVoltages
Pipes and the liquids within them are often used as a conductor for electrical grounding. This creates
a voltage potential between electrodes which can be high relative to the signal voltage. Proper
grounding of the flowmeter to the liquid is necessary to achieve correct meter operation. Grounding
rings should be installed if the flowing medium has a voltage potential, if piping is nonconductive
(plastic or lined) or if conductivity is below 20 micromhos/cm. See Section 3.8  Grounding.

System
Operation
The Sparling TigermagEP uses the autozeroing, bipolar, pulsed-DC measuring technique. The
circuitry (Fig. 1.2) energizes the coil with 300 mA typical current at a frequency of up to 100 Hz. The
signal generated at the electrodes is measured near the end of each measuring cycle to eliminate the
capacitive effects of coatings. The Hi-Z (1012 Ω) input impedance eliminates the resistive effects of
electrode coatings. The field current alternates to a positive and negative state and the two measured
signals are averaged to eliminate the effect of a zero offsetthis is the auto-zeroing feature.

1.6.1 Sensor
The FM626 is a wafer style meter. It is available with either a ceramic or optional Tefzel® liner. The
Tefzel® liner is rotamolded onto a stainless steel sensor tube. Both liners are press-fit into a carbon
steel housing. The FM627 is a wafer style meter. The flow sensor housing is made of steel with a
polyurethane liner. Sensor coils are completely encapsulated in polyurethane. The FM656 flow
sensor is a welded fabrication of 304 stainless steel, fitted with two carbon steel flanges. The flow
sensor contains a nonconductive liner of ceramic, polyurethane, Tefzel®, hard rubber, soft rubber,
or neoprene. The FM657 flow sensor housing is made of steel with a polyurethane liner. Sensor coils
are completely encapsulated in polyurethane. All TigermagEP meters are rugged, waterproof
assemblies capable of handling a wide range of highly corrosive and abrasive liquids.
Fused platinum electrodes, standard on ceramic meters from 0.1" to 2", require no O-rings,
eliminating the possibility of leaking. Platinum is suitable for nearly all conductive liquids. The
electrodes in all other liners are self-sealing.
All internal cavities of the FM- 2 sensor housing are filled with a high temperature silicone potting
compound to prevent the possibility of moisture damage and to avoid the possibility of collection
of explosive gases.
▼▼
▼▼
▼WHEN PROPERLY CONNECTED WITH LIQUID-TIGHT CONDUIT, THE FM626 AND FM627 REMOTE
FLOW SENSOR WILL WITHSTAND ACCIDENTAL SUBMERGENCE. (SEE FIG. 3. 6 ON PAGE 25).
1.6.2 IntegralTransmitter
The transmitter is mounted on the meter body and housed in a NEMA-4X and NEMA-7 enclosure that is
approved by CSA and Factory Mutual. The power and signal electrical connections are made in a separate
section of the housing which is isolated from the electronics.
1.6.3 RemoteTransmitter
The transmitter is housed in a NEMA-4X enclosure some distance away from the meter body.
Remote mounting is recommended where pipe vibration is excessive or when flooding is
possible.
Remote mounting for the FM626 and FM656 is REQUIRED when high process tempera-
tures exist at high ambient temperatures (above 212° F/100° C). The FM 27 and FM 57 should
not be installed where process temperatures will exceed 180° F.
The optional remote mounting kit includes interconnecting cable between the sensor and
transmitter enclosure. The standard interconnecting cable length is 15 feet. Shorter or longer
cables should be specified when ordered from the factory. The cable may be shortened in the
field.

The TigermagEP transmitter is designed to be used with any FM626, FM627, FM656 o r FM657 sensor.
Electronics are completely interchangeable. Meter identification (tube ID, Serial Number, K, Offset, etc.)
is stored on an E2PROM chip independent of transmitter electronics. This provides universal compatibility
b e t w e e n al l T i ge r m a g E P e le c t r on i c s m o d u le s , e li m i nating the need for reprogramming when switching
modules. FM656 (0.5"- 4"), FM627 (1"-4") and FM657 (2"-4") sizes have the same face-to-face
dimensions as FM626 wafer-style meters (0.5"- 4"). See Figure 1.3

Storage
When the equipment is received, the outside of the package should be inspected for damage. If any
damage or shortage is found, notation to that effect should be made on the carriers delivery receipt.
Visually inspect the sensor and transmitter for damage from rough handling or faulty packaging. If
concealed damage is discovered, notify the delivering carrier at once and request an inspection.
Confirm telephone conversations in writing. If inspection is not made, prepare an affidavit stating that
you notified the transportation company and that they failed to inspect. Save containers and
packaging material.
It is essential that the carrier be notified within 15 days from the date of delivery in order to be in a
position to present your claim. Make your claim promptly.
Unpacking and handling of TigermagEP Magnetic Flowmeters should be consistent with the
procedures used to handle field instruments.

Application
Consider-
ations
3.2
Site Selection
The TigermagEPTM can be used to accurately measure the volumetric flow rate of liquids having a
conductivity of at least 5 micromhos/cm.
The presence of entrained air or gases in the process liquid will not prevent meter operation, but will
produce a positive (+) error equal to the % by volume gas entrainment.
▼FULL SCALE FLOW RATES SHOULD BE SELECTED ABOVE 3 FEET PER SECOND ( METER PER
SECOND) FOR BEST ACCURACY.
Select a pipe location which will always be full of liquid. The equipment should be located where the
flowmeter will be accessible for adjustment. Provide a minimum of 18" clearance to the electronics
enclosure.
The meter may be located in any position from vertical to horizontal. Flow may be in either direction
through the meter. Vertical installation with the liquid flowing upwards, minimizes the possibility of
slurry separation and assures a full pipe condition.
Horizontal installation requires that the sensing electrodes be positioned in the horizontal plane. See
Figure 3.7.
Provide at least three pipe diameters of straight piping approach between an upstream elbow and
the midpoint of the meter. In small meters this can be achieved within the meter itself. More straight
approach should be provided after valves or multiple elbows. Provide at least 10 diameters after
expanders or laterals which are of smaller diameter than the line size.

Display
Removing the Rotatable Display
Figure 3.2
The Sparling TigermagEP's modular display is designed to allow you to rotate the display in four
different orientations. The display assembly can be rotated, at 90° intervals, by removing the two
screws circled in Figure 3.2 below, for ease of reading the display.
The display features long lasting LCD numerals. The display may darken if ambient temperatures
exceed its temperature rating of -4° to +158° F. Darkening usually occurs when the electronics are
installed in direct sunlight. To avoid this problem install a sun shield when the flowmeter is in direct
sunlight.
The display assembly can be replaced in the field without replacing the entire electronics, by following
the same procedures as utilized for rotating the display.

Removable
Electrodes
(optional)
The line must be depressurized and drained in order to check and replace the removable
electrodes.
3.4.1 How the Design Works
This design utilizes electrodes which are installed through accessible ports provided on the sensor
body. Electrodes are sealed using two o-rings. One o-ring acts as a primary seal while the other is
a backup seal. This redundant sealing approach provides positive sealing.
To withdraw the electrodes, process line has to be depressurized and drained. The outer cover
must be removed by unscrewing cap bolts using an 11/32 nut driver to allow access to the elec-
trode cavity. Remove cables from electrodes by removing nuts and lock washers. Using a 3/4"
socket, unscrew and remove the electrode assembly.
3.4.2 The Need for Replacement
Sparling's flowmeter design utilizes High Impedance circuitry (Hi-Z) which is not affected by coating
buildup on the electrodes. Replacement of the electrode only becomes necessary when physical
damage due to erosion or corrosion has occurred.
3.5
Hot-Tap
Removable
Electrodes
(optional)
Sparling's optional hot-tap removable electrode design allows the inspection or replacement of
electrodes without stopping the flow or depressurizing the line. The electrode assembly is sealed
with multiple o-rings to maintain isolation from the pressurized medium. During removal of the
electrode, a stainless steel ball valve is closed to keep the process fluid from leaking out while the
electrodes are inspected or cleaned. The electrode housing, wired as a backup electrode, func-
tions as a redundant electrode assembly providing the flow signal to the electronics. In other
words, even when the electrode is withdrawn, the flowmeter keeps on providing important flow
information.

MODELSFM626&FM627FLANGELESS(WAFER) SENSOR
The flangeless sensor is installed between two process pipe flanges. The sensor contains a
nonconductive polyurethane, ceramic or Tefzel® liner. The integrity of this liner must be maintained
for the flowmeter to function. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING INSTALLATION TO INSURE
THAT THIS LINER IS NOT DAMAGED. Depending upon meter size, four (4) or eight (8) steel bolts
are required for installation of the FM 2 & FM 27. These bolts are used to install the meter between
existing flanges. See Table 4. Gaskets are required between the meter and the pipe flanges and
between grounding rings and the mating surfaces.
Install the two bolts at the bottom of the meter. Place the meter temporarily between the flanges to
confirm correct positioning. The meter should rest directly on the bolts. Remove the meter.
▼REINSTALL THE METER TAKING CARE TO KEEP THE GASKET
CENTERED. INSTALL ALL BOLTS AND TURN FINGER TIGHT. COMPLETE INSTALLATION
WITH TORQUE WRENCH. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BOLTS BE TIGHTENED ALTERNATELY SO
THAT EXCESSIVE FORCE IS NOT APPLIED TO A CONCENTRATED POINT. S EE FIGURE 3.6. DO
NOT EXCEED THE TORQUE LIMITS IN TABLE 6.
MODELS FM656 & FM657 FLANGED SENSORS
The flanged sensor is installed between two process pipe flanges. The sensing head tube interior is
covered with an electrically nonconductive liner which overlaps the flange seal surfaces. The integrity
of this liner must be maintained for the flowmeter to function. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING
