Multi-Parameter Vortex Mass Flow Meters
The Sierra Instruments’ Series 240 In-Line and the Series 241 Insertion
Innova-Mass™ Vortex Flow Meters provide a reliable solution for
process flow measurement. From a single entry point in the pipeline, In-
nova-Mass meters offer precise measurements of five parameters includ-
ing mass flow, volumetric flow, temperature, pressure and fluid density.
The unique Innova-Mass design reduces fugitive emissions, wiring, star-
tup time and work-force requirements.
Innova-Mass digital electronics allows reconfiguration for most gases,
liquids and steam with generous rangeability. The meter outputs a pulse
signal for remote totalization and up to three 4-20 mA analog signals for
monitoring your choice of the five process variables. The local key-
pad/display provides instantaneous flow rate, total flow, temperature,
pressure and density in engineering units.
The Sierra Series 240 and 241 Innova-Mass Meters’ simple installation
combines with an easy-to-use interface that provides quick set up, long
term reliability and accurate mass flow measurement over a wide range
of flows, pressures and temperatures.
