Chapter 1: Introduction
InnovaMass. Reinvented.
In the 1990s, Sierra designed and introduced InnovaMass, the first multivariable mass vortex flow
meter in the world. Through a single process connection, InnovaMass now empowered customers
with mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, density, temperature and
pressure. Five instruments in one.
InnovaMass’ innovative new features introduced a welcome force-multiplier. With five high
accuracy measurements available from a single device, total cost-of-ownership plummeted.
Lower initial cost, less complex installation, and reduced maintenance costs contributed to
significant customer savings.
Today, with the latest hyper-fast microprocessors, robust software applications, and our new
automated state-of-the-art flow calibration facility, the completely re-designed InnovaMass
240i/241i “iSeries” delivers precision, performance, and application flexibility never before
possible.
The Vortex “i” Series Introduces Comprehensive Flow Energy Management
To meet process control demands, flow energy in the form of steam, compressed air, natural gas
and water must be measured and managed with greater precision than ever before. Increased
control over resulting flow energy costs drives increased productivity and competitiveness.
The reinvented InnovaMass 240i and 241i delivers a revolution in flow energy management with
these new iSeries features:

Raptor II microprocessor is 10x faster to run robust software applications

Field diagnostics, validation, and adjustment through onboard Smart Interface Portal
