Both the inline Model 220 and insertion Model 221 have smart electronics that extend the sensitivity and rangeability of the meters below that of conventional vortex meters, solving a common problem of vortex meter users.
Both models are designed for extreme ease of installation.
Product accuracy for the in-line version is +/- 0.7% of reading for liquids and +/-1.0% for gases and steam over a 30:1 range.
Accuracy of the insertion version is +/- 1.2% of reading for liquids and +/-1.5% for gases and steam.
In addition, Innova-Flo uses state-of-the-art advanced proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) to better differentiate the signal to noise ratio and to provide a more stable and accurate flow reading for the user.
This also makes for a very consistent signal at low flow operation.
Adding to this, the meter calculates the Reynolds number in real-time, then corrects it for non-linearity allowing for extended range operation beyond that of conventional vortex meters.
Adding the HART Communication Protocol as a standard feature allows the meters to be configured remotely or programmed and commissioned locally through the keypad.
A user-friendly menu makes it one of easiest meters to commission.
Simply input the application data and the improved meter electronics automatically optimises itself to make the best measurement possible.
Both the Model 220 and Model 221 are available in a variety of process connections.
The insertion design (made possible by a proprietary Reynolds number correction routine) is ideal for pipes up to 72 inches in diameter.
When combined with the patented Sierra flow sensor technology, the Innova-Flo offers the best solution on the market today to measure your tough flow applications. Request a free brochure from Sierra Instruments ...
