6 The flowmeter consists of a sensor (wafer or flanged) with a nonmagnetic liner, sensing electrodes and a measuring transmitter. Operation is based on Faraday s Law of Mag- netic Induction. An electrically conductive liquid flowing through a magnetic field induces a volt- Operating Principle 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 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 Application to Magnetic Flow Measurement Measuring Principle Figure In a magnetic flowmeter th e liquid acts as a moving conductor as it flows through th e pipe. The induced voltage (E) in the liquid is measured by two sensing electrodes mounted opposite each other in the meter sensing head.

7 The length of th e 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 0 V = cross sectional area = A 0 x I x 4 x k E = D2 Note that if I is held constant, E is proportional to 0 or the induced voltage is directly proportional to the average flow rate (V). IDS-626/627/656/657 Page 1 Interference 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 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.

8 The signal voltage must be separated from the interference direct voltage. Proper grounding eliminates these unpredictable voltages from interfering with the signal voltage. Induction Interference (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 th e length of conductor within the magnetic field in order to keep the value of this interference as low as possible. Other Interference Voltages Pipes and the liquids within them are often used as a conductor fo r 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.

9 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 - Grounding. Page 2 TigermagEP System Operation The Sparling TigermagEP uses the autozeroing, bipolar, pulsed-DC measuring technique. The circuitry (Fig. ) 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 ) input impedance eliminates the resistive effects of electrode coatings. The field current alternates to a positive and negative state and th e two measured signals are averaged to eliminate the effect of a zero offset-this is the auto-zeroing feature.

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.
