Changes to Sparling propeller meter line effective September 1st, 2010


Masterflo Meters Discontinued

To better serve our customers, effective September 1, 2010, after 63 years, Masterflo propeller meters have been discontinued. As replacements, Sparling will offer meters that will fit in the same openings as the Masterflo meters in all Masterflo sizes (4 to 24). There are two replacement versions:

1)      A digital one, the FM114, which will be similar to our digital meters (FM104/FM184);

2)      A direct drive one, the FM112, which will be similar to our direct drive meters (FM102/FM182).



FM183 Magnetic Drive Meterhead Discontinued

Effective September 1, 2010, Sparling is discontinuing the FM183 Meterhead (sizes 16 inches to 30 inches). We will continue to offer the FM182 (direct drive) or FM184 (digital) which are both excellent alternatives to the FM183.



All Sparling meters are flow tested in one of Sparlings' flow labs located at Sparling's El Monte, California plant. The three labs together comprise one of the largest flow facilities in the United States. Our labs are equipped to test and calibrate magnetic, propeller and vortex flowmeters ranging from 1/10 inch to 54 inches in diameter with flow rates from 0.04 gpm to 35,000 gpm attainable. Measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a certified test report is furnished with every Sparling meter.
