Sierra 780S flowmeter includes flow conditioning

A Sierra Instruments product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Mar 5, 2009

The Model 780S Flat-Trak inline mass flowmeter from Sierra is designed to offer improved measurement capabilities in installations where long straight pipe runs are not available.

The meter incorporates the Sierra dual-plate flow conditioning element to eliminate velocity profile distortions as well as swirl and temperature stratification in the gas stream.

This product reduces piping straight run requirements to as little as three upstream diameters.

As a result, you save money on installation costs when compared to an orifice-plate, where at least 20 upstream piping diameters are required for optimal performance.

The Model 780S is available in pipe sizes from 1/4in to 8in in a choice of NPT, Buttweld or ANSI 150lb flanged design (300lb flanges optional).

Larger sizes are available upon request.

This meter features the Sierra Smart Electronics package for field rangeability, field flow-range adjustment, and field validation and diagnostics.

The Model 780S has low-velocity sensitivity and exceptional accuracy, said Sierra.

The Model 780S is hazardous-area approved for FM, CSA, EEx, PED, CE, CENELEC and is also available with a NEMA 4X (IP65) enclosure.

Product accuracy is +/-1 per cent of reading, 0.5 per cent of full scale repeatability.
