Table of Contents Series 24-HP Instruction Manual Warnings and Cautions Warning! Agency approval for hazardous location installations varies between flow meter models. Consult the flow meter nameplate for specific flow meter approvals before any hazardous location installation. Hot tapping must be performed by a trained professional. U.S. regulations often require a hot tap permit. The manufacturer of the hot tap equipment and/or the contractor perform- ing the hot tap is respon

In-Line Vortex Multi-Parameter Mass Flow Meter Sierra Series 240 and 241 Innova-Mass™ Multi-Parameter Vortex Mass Flow Meters use a unique sensor head to monitor mass flow rate by di- rectly measuring three variables–fluid velocity, temperature and pres- sure. The built-in flow computer calculates the mass flow rate and volu- metric flow rate based on these three dire

Chapter 1 Introduction Series 24-HP Instruction Manual Vortex Shedding Frequency Von Karman vortices form downstream of a shedder bar into two dis- tinct wakes. The vortices of one wake rotate clockwise while those of the other wake rotate counterclockwise. Vortices generate one at a time, alternating from the left side to the right side of the shedder bar. Vortices interact with their surrounding space by over-powering every other nearby swirl on the verge of development. Close to the

Series 24-HP Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Flow Velocity Range To ensure trouble-free operation, vortex flow meters must be correctly sized so that the flow velocity range through the meter lies within the measurable velocity range (with acceptable pressure drop) and the linear range. The measurable range is defined by the minimum and maximum velocity using the following table. Gas Liquid 25 ft/s 3 ρ Vmin 1 ft/s English ρ (lb/ft ) Vmax 300 ft/s 30 ft/s 37 m/

Chapter 1 Introduction Series 24-HP Instruction Manual As shown in Figure 1-3, Innova-Mass™ meters exhibit a constant Strou- hal number across a large range of Reynolds numbers, indicating a con- sistent linear output over a wide range of flows and fluid types. Below this linear range, the intelligent electronics in Innova-Mass automatically corrects for the variation in the Strouhal number with the Reynolds num- ber. The meter’s smart electronics corrects for this non-linearity via its sim

Series 24-HP Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Pressure Measurement Innova-Mass Flow Meters incorporate a solid-state pressure transducer isolated by a 316 stainless steel diaphragm. The transducer itself is mi- cro-machined silicon, fabricated using integrated circuit processing tech- nology. A nine-point pressure/temperature calibration is performed on every sensor. Digital compensation allows these transducers to operate within a 0.3% of full scale accuracy band within the entir

Series 24-HP Instruction Manual Chapter 2 Installation Series 240 In-Line Flow Meter Installation Install the Series 240 In-Line Flow Meter between two conventional pipe flanges as shown in Figures 2-3 and 2-4. Table 2-1 provides the recom- mended minimum stud bolt lengths for wafer-style meter body size and different flange ratings. The meter inside diameter is equal to the same size nominal pipe ID in schedule 80. For example, a 2” meter has an ID of 1.939” (2” schedule 80). Do not

Chapter 2 Installation Series 24-HP Instruction Manual Wafer-Style Flow Meter Installation Install the wafer-style meter between two conventional pipe flanges of the same nominal size as the flow meter. If the process fluid is a liquid, make sure the meter is located where the pipe is always full. This may require locating the meter at a low point in the piping system. Note: Vortex flow meters are not suitable for two-phase flows (i.e., liquid and gas mixtures). For horizontal pipelines
