Innova-Mass® Model 240 VTP (Multivariable Mass Vortex)

In-line Multivariable Mass Vortex Flow Meter

Read five process variables with a single installed device!

Our award-winning Innova-Mass® Model 240 can measure the mass flow rate of any gas or liquid and are ideally suited for saturated or superheated steam. Our multivariable Technology allows one instrument and one process connection to measure FIVE process parameters at the same time to simultaneously measure mass flow rate, temperature, pressure, volumetric flow rate, and fluid density.

The Innova-Mass cryogenic version has undergone extensive testing and field validation over the last several years proving that the meter is preferred versus traditional turbine meters for measuring mass flow rates of cryogenic fluids down to -328°F (-200°C).  Using a special cryogenic temperature RTD, mass calculations are done with the latest density equations of state for liquid Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, and CO2.

The Model 240 is fully field-programmable, configurable and feature RS485, MODBUS or HART protocols.

Product OverviewDownloadsApplication StoriesImages & Video

The sophisticated on-board flow computer inside the steam vortex flowmeter also incorporates AGA-8 algorithms for natural gas measurement to reduce billing and contract disputes. The multivariable meters' smart electronics provide access to all measured variables and programming menus, and permit field-configuration directly from the flow meter control panel or workstation via RS485, MODBUS or HART protocols.

Product accuracy is ± 1% of rate for liquids and 1.5% of rate for gases and steam over a 30:1 range.When you're searching for multivariable vortex steam flowmeters, Sierra Instruments is the industry specialist. The Model 240 is hazardous area approved by FM, CSA, ATEX and CE.
