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 di- rectly measuring three variables–fluid velocity, temperature and pres- sure. The built-in flow computer calculates the mass flow rate and volu- metric flow rate based on these three dire

                          Chapter 1 Introduction Series 24-HP Instruction Manual   Vortex Shedding Frequency  Von Karman vortices form downstream of a shedder bar into two dis- tinct 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. Close to the

                          Series 24-HP 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.

                          Chapter 1 Introduction Series 24-HP Instruction Manual As shown in Figure 1-3, Innova-Mass™ meters exhibit a constant Strou- hal number across a large range of Reynolds numbers, indicating a con- sistent 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 num- ber. The meter’s smart electronics corrects for this non-linearity via its  sim
