Overview Principles of Operation Types of Electromagnetic Flow Sensors Insertion In-line Installation Accessories Rate and Totalizers Analog Transmission Target Markets Application Photos and Uses

Overview Insertion Adjustable IEFS Fixed EFS2 In-line Small LOFM & MFS/MFS2 Large FLMG MFS FLMG MFS2 LOFM IEFS EFS2

Principle of Operation Faraday’s Law Conductive liquid moving through a magnetic field produces a current

Principle of Operation Current is proportional to velocity of the liquid

Principle of Operation A magnetic field is directed through the conductive liquid Voltage generated is proportional to the movement of the flowing liquid

IEFS - Introduction Adjustable, insertion electromagnetic flow meter Designed for pipe sizes from 3 to 48˝ ( 76 to 1219 mm) Comes in different materials Stainless steel and brass Purchase by size and material

IEFS - Specifications Service: Compatible clean or dirty non-coating, conductive liquids Range: 0.28 to 20 ft/s (0.08 to 6.09 m/s) Accuracy: ±1% FS Output: Current sinking, square wave pulse, opto-isolated, ft/s Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4X (IP66)

IEFS - Features Field adjustability allows for quick ship and installation time Brass and stainless steel materials of construction Versatility for higher temperature and pressures and varying fluids Reverse flow output option Allows meter to indicate flow in two directions, forward or reverse

IEFS - Features NPT or Hot-Tap process connection Hot-Tap option allows for service of system without draining process fluid

EFS2 - Introduction Electromagnetic flow meter Fixed insertion depth 1 to 12” (25 to 305 mm) PVC, Brass, and Stainless Steel

EFS2 - Specifications Service: Compatible clean or dirty non-coating, conductive liquids Range: 0.28 to 20 ft/s (0.08 to 6.09 m/s) Accuracy: ±1% FS Output: Current sinking, square wave pulse, opto-isolated, ft/s Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4X (IP66)

EFS2 - Features Fixed depth 3 models allow for range of pipe sizes 1 to 3” (25 to 76 mm) 4 to 10” (102 to 254 mm) 12” (305 mm) PVC, Brass, and Stainless Steel Materials of Construction Versatility for higher temperature and pressures Higher chemical compatibility for varying fluids Reverse flow output option Allows meter to indicate flow in two directions, forward or reverse

EFF Fittings Series EFF fittings and tees required for installation Stainless Steel, Bronze, and PVC fittings and tees allow for installation in virtually all applications

Advantages and Disadvantages IEFS2 – Adjustable NPT and Hot Tap Mount One model for pipes 3 to 24” (76 to 607 mm) Higher Cost EFS2 - Fixed Lower Cost Operational in pipes down to 1” (25 mm) Require additional mounting components

LOFM - Introduction In-line, small pipe diameter electromagnetic flow sensor PVDF wetted material 3/8” (9.5 mm) & ¾” (19 mm)

LOFM - Specifications Service: Compatible clean or dirty non-coating, conductive liquids Range: 0.03 to 20 GPM (0.01 to 1.3 LPS) Accuracy: +1% of reading Output: Current sinking, square wave pulse, opto-isolated, 30 5 mA max. and 4 to 20 mA Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4X (IP66)

LOFM - Features Corrosion resistant PVDF material No moving parts Non obstructive flow Can accurately measure flow rates as low as 0.03 GPM (.002 LPS)

MFS & MFS2 - Introduction In-line electromagnetic flowmeter For small pipe sizes MFS 316 SS body ½ to 1” (13 to 25 mm) MFS2 plastic body ½ to 1-1/4” (13 to 32 mm) MFS MFS2

MFS & MFS2 - Specifications Service: Water and other conductive liquids Accuracy: ±2% of reading Output: Frequency: Square-wave, NPN Analog: 4 to 20 mA Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4 (IP65) MFS MFS2

FLMG - Introduction Inline electromagnetic flowmeter Transmits and displays flow rate and total 150 # ANSI flange 4, 6, 8, 10 in (102, 153,203, 254 mm)

FLMG - Specifications Service: Compatible non-coating conductive liquids Wetted Materials: Liner: Dual durometer rubber Accuracy: ±1% Output: Current sinking square wave pulse, opto- isolated Battery Life: 2 months with power failure; 10 years with power Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4X (IP66)

FLMG - Features No Moving Parts Unaffected by potential debris in flow such as sand Manufactured to customer specification Model designed to mount in 4 to 10” (102 to 254 mm) lines No adjusting sensor height to center of flow, bolt inline an go Larger magnetic field Requires fewer upstream and downstream pipe diameters

FLMG - Features NEMA 4X (IP66) rated housing Allows for use both indoor and outdoor Flow outputs Rate and flow totalizing standard Internal battery backup standard Allows unit to continue working if power failure/outage occurs

Advantages and Disadvantages In-line vs. Insertion Built to specific pipe size, one size does not fit all Flow-thru design allows for minimal/no pressure drop Can be used in applications with solids and debris in flow stream Higher cost than insertion flow sensors

Installation Accessories RTI Rate/Total Indicator BAT Blind Analog Transmitter

RTI - Features Indicator and transmitter accessory for IEFS, EFS2, and FLMG Takes pulse input from flow sensor and converts signal to display flow rate and total Displays flow rate and flow total on LCD display Provides linear 4 to 20mA output of flow NEMA 4X (IP 66) rating for indoor and outdoor use

RTI - Features Mounts to wall, flow sensor, or local panel

BAT - Features Transmitter accessory for IEFS, EFS2, and FLMG No Display, blind unit Takes pulse input from flow sensor and converts signal to flow rate signal Output signal linear 4 to 20mA output of flow NEMA 4X (IP 66) rating for indoor and outdoor use

BAT - Features Mounts to wall or Flow Sensor

When not to recommend electromagnetic flow sensors Applications with fluids with low conductivity De-ionized water or boiler feed water Low conductivity can cause the meter to turn off and indicate zero flow Hydrocarbon and gas applications Hydrocarbons and gases are non conductive and can not be measured
