Vortex Flowmeter
Sierra’s Volumetric Vortex Product Line
An obstruction in a pipe creates vortices on the downstream side of the obstruction. Temperature or pressure sensors measure the vortices to gauge the strength of flow.

Vortex Flowmeter
Sierra Instruments, Inc.
For years, Vortex Technology has been an economical way to monitor constant liquids, steam and constant density gas flows. Sierra's Volumetric Vortex product line features an inline version, the Model 220 Innova-Flo® and a unique insertion version, the Model 221 Innova-Flo®. Both models use Sierra’s state-of-the-art vortex sensing technology tied into a sophisticated on-board computer. The Model 220 and Model 221 have smart electronics that extends the sensitivity and rangeability of the meter far below that of conventional vortex meters. Program in a constant density, and a mass flow readout is achieved. Both models are loop powered for extreme ease of installation. When you need to monitor liquid flows, think Innova Flo® !

Vortex Flowmeter

The inline GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter is the next generation vortex meter. The multivariable design of the GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter consists of a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTD temperature sensor and a solid state pressure transducer that measures the mass flow rate of steam, gases, and liquids.

Other meter types use external process measurements to calculate mass flow. The temperature and pressure devices are typically not installed in the same location as the flow meter. Process conditions can vary greatly between the two locations, causing inaccurate mass flow readings. The GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter measures velocity, temperature and pressure at the same location, which provides more accurate process measurement.

Integrating pressure and temperature into the vortex flow meter simplifies system complexity and helps minimize initial capital costs, as well as reduce the installation costs. There is no need to purchase additional instrumentation to monitor pressure and temperature since the GE Panametrics PanaFlow™ MV80 vortex flow meter will output all parameters to your data acquisition system. The product line is available with a wide range of options and meter configurations to meet your specific application requirements.

Sierra: Model 220 Innova-Flo® Inline Volumetric Vortex Flow Meter
Model 220 Innova-Flo® Inline Volumetric Vortex Meter
  • Volumetric flow monitoring of most gases, liquids and steam
  • Rangeable down to Reynold's number of 5000
  • In-line sizes from 1/4 " to 8"
  • 1% rate accuracy (liquids) or 0.7% for gases over a 30:1 turndown
  • Fully field configurable
  • Loop powered with 4-20ma output
Sierra's Model 220 Innova-Flo provides a direct reading of volumetric flow for liquids, steam or constant density gases. Product accuracy is ±1% of rate for liquids and 0.7% of rate for gases and steam over a 30:1 range. The Model 220 is hazardous area approved for FM, CSA, and CE and available in flow body sizes from 1/4-inch up to 8-inches.

The Model 220 allows for a constant density input to calculate mass flow for incompressible fluids or constant density gas or steam flow. The product features loop power, simple installation with ANSI flanges and a 4-20 loop output. A separate totalizer pulse output is also standard. Smart electronics provides access to all measured variables and programming menus.

    • Dual signal processing technology improves accuracy at low flows.
  • HIGH ACCURACY
    • 0.5% of rate.
    • Increased noise cancellation as a result of dual signal processing technology.

Vortices are created when a fluid passes around a bluff body as shown below.Vortices are alternately shed on each side of the body, 180 degrees out of phase to each other, resulting in an oscillating pressure gradient. As flow increases the frequency of vortices increases in proportion to the increased flow thereby creating a linear relationship.

AALBORG’s unique dual signal processing technology independently measures each vortex on either side of the bluff body and filters out non-flow noise. This results in less noise and higher accuracy throughout the flow range. Dual signal processing technology independently measures each vortex providing increased accuracy and turndown.
