The Thermal Mass Flow Meter for High Accuracy Air, Gas, and Mixture Flow Measurement

Thermal mass flow you never imagined possible. Manufacturing and industrial process control depend on the highest accuracy air, natural gas, and gas mixture flow measurement possible to assure maximum productivity, efficiency and end-product quality. Today, Sierra’s revolutionary QuadraTherm® 640i and 780i deliver the world’s most accurate thermal mass flow measurements. Accuracy is as good as, if not better, than Coriolis, at a fraction of the price. Now experience precise mass flow rate, temperature and pressure measurement from a single device. In the late 1990’s, Sierra experienced its first...

• Accuracy: +/- 0.5% of reading (inline); +/- 0.75% of reading (insertion) QuadraTherm is the first thermal mass flow meter to come with comprehensive software apps for ease of use, field adjustment, and calibration validation. • Gases: Air, natural gas, mixtures, flammables, inert gases • Flow rates: Down to 0.03 smps (0.1 sfps) & up to 305 smps (60,000 sfpm) • Pipe/duct sizes up to 72” (182 cm) • Hot-tap probe retractor • 100:1 turndown • Free user software • Multivariable: Mass flow rate, temperature & pressure Easily change pipe sizes and measured fluid in the field with apps like Dial-APipeTM...

3 The user can also collect flow and composition trend analysis, flow alarming, and triggers. Sierra has many more apps under development to enhance your product experience. When released, you can immediately download and begin using them. SierraLoop World Class Calibration Designed by Sierra and located at our metrology headquarters in Monterey, California, SierraLoopTM is among the world’s most accurate private gas flow calibration facilities. Rated at +/- 0.3% of reading, all calibrations follow the guidelines of ISO 17025 and are traceable to national standards such NIST (United States National...
