Sierra mass flow meter manual

Is your boiler operating as efficiently as possible? We offer localized and global support, commissioning, and lifetime support for all of our gas flow meters. Learn More. Vortex technology is ideal for steam flow measurement and volumetric water.

Available in both inline and insertion versions, with easy hot tap feature for large steam pipes. Software apps make it easy to set up and tune your meter for your application. A: In most processes with flowing gases such as air, N2, or methane, it is gas mass—not gas volume—that is the critical variable.

Volumetric flow measurements are less reliable than mass flow measurements because changes in gas temperature and pressure will change the density of a fixed volume of gas. In the control process, additional errors can be propagated by back pressure changes in the process.

Unlike orifice plates, rotameters, variable area VA meters, differential pressure DP meters, turbine meters and all other volumetric flow devices, thermal mass flow meters and controllers are relatively immune to changes in inlet temperature and pressure. Since these instruments directly measure molecular flow count gas molecules , they provide the most reliable, repeatable and accurate method for delivering gases from a supply volume to a process at a desired mass flow rate.

This creates a pressure drop across it, and in turn, a small amount of flow, typically in the sccm range, is fractioned off of the total flow and passes through the capillary flow sensor.

A: To properly configure your vortex flowmeter, you need to know type of fluid; type of gas, liquid or steam; pipe size, including type, nominal size and schedule; process conditions, such as flow rate, temperature and pressure.
