Series 240/241 Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction How the Innova-Mass Vortex Mass Flow Meter Operates Figure 1-1. 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 directly measuring three variables–fluid velocity, temperature and pressure. The built-in flow computer calculates the mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate based on these three direct measurements.
Chapter 1 Introduction Series 240/241 Instruction Manual Vortex Shedding Frequency Von Karman vortices form downstream of a shedder bar into two distinct 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.
Series 240/241 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 25 ft/s Vmin Vmax Vmin Vmax ρ 300 ft/s 37 m/s ρ 91 m/s Liquid 1 ft/s 30 ft/s English ρ (lb/ft3) 0.
Chapter 1 Introduction Series 240/241 Instruction Manual Strouhal Number, St As shown in Figure 1-3, Innova-Mass™ meters exhibit a constant Strouhal number across a large range of Reynolds numbers, indicating a consistent 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 number.
Series 240/241 Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Pressure Measurement Innova-Mass Flow Meters incorporate a solid-state pressure transducer isolated by a 316 stainless steel diaphragm.
