Thermal Mass Flowmeter
Sierra's Heavy-Industrial Thermal Mass Flow Meter Family
Thermal Mass Flowmeters - The rate of heat absorbed by a flow stream is directly proportional to its mass flow. As molecules of a moving gas come into contact with a heat source, they absorb heat and thereby cool the source. At increased flow rates, more molecules come into contact with the heat source, absorbing even more heat. The amount of heat dissipated from the heat source in this manner is proportional to the number of molecules of a particular gas (its mass), the thermal characteristics of the gas, and its flow characteristics.

Sierra: Model 780S Flat-Trak™ Inline Mass Flow Meter with Flow Conditioning
Model 780S Flat-Trak™ Inline Mass Flow Meter with Flow Conditioning
  • 316SS construction
  • Range of process connections
  • Field Validation/Configuration
  • 2% reading accuracy
  • Very large installed base
  • Removable probe for recal/service
  • In-line flow conditioning
  • Meters all process gases

The Model 780S Flat-Trak™ offers improved measurement capabilities in installations where long straight pipe runs are not available. The meter incorporates Sierra’s unique 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 1/4-inch to 8-inches in a choice of NPT, Buttweld or ANSI 150 lb. flanged design (300 lb. flanges optional). Larger sizes are available upon request. This meter features Sierra's well-known Smart Electronics Package for field-rangability, field flow-range adjustment, and field validation and diagnostics. The Model 780S has outstanding low-velocity sensitivity and exceptional accuracy.

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 ?2% of reading, 0.2% of full scale repeatability.
