  • Page 5: Section 1 - General

    General The Sparling TigermagEP Model FM-626, FM627, FM-656 and FM-657 flowmeters are obstructionless devices for monitoring the volumetric flow of conductive liquids in full closed pipes. Measuring The flowmeter consists of a sensor (wafer or flanged) with a nonmagnetic liner, sensing System electrodes and a measuring transmitter.
  • Page 6: Interference

    1.4.1 Electrochemical Interference 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 Interference which result are dependent on temperature, pressure, and the chemical composition of the electrodes and liquid.
  • Page 7: 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 Ω) input...
  • Page 8: Construction

    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- Construction 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.

  • Page 11: Interchangeability

    The TigermagEP™ transmitter is designed to be used with any FM626, FM627, FM656 or FM657 sensor. Electronics are completely interchangeable. Meter identification (tube ID, Serial Number, K, Offset, etc.) is stored on an E PROM chip independent of transmitter electronics. This provides universal compatibility between all Tigermag EP electronics modules, eliminating the need for reprogramming when switching modules.

  • Page 14: Section 2 - Pre-Installation

    Pre-Installation 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 Receivingand concealed damage is discovered, notify the delivering carrier at once and request an inspection.
  • Page 15: Section 3 - Installation

    Installation 3. 1 The TigermagEP 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 Application produce a positive (+) error equal to the % by volume gas entrainment.
