QuadraTherm offers the highest accuracy of inline and insertion-probe thermal mass flowmeters in the market. They are designed for all inert gases, all non-condensing clean gases, and flammable gases, including methane, propane, hydrogen, digester gas, natural gas, and corrosive gases compatible with 316L stainless steel. Available pipe size: 1" to 8" inline version; up to 72" insertion version.
Sierra's QuadraTherm® 640i and 780i thermal mass flow meters provide precise mass flow rate, temperature, and pressure measurements in a single unit. Their accuracy rivals that of Coriolis devices at a fraction of the cost. QuadraTherm flowmeters are desgined for flow measurement of all inert gases and all non-condensing clean gases, flammable gases, including methane, propane, hydrogen, digester gas, natural gases, and corrosive gases compatible with 316L stainless steel. They are ideal for high-accuracy applications like custody transfer, wastewater treatment, hazardous areas, facilities management and general process control applications.
Unlike traditional two-sensor thermal flow meters, QuadraTherm comes with four sensors: three precision platinum temperature sensors and one patented DrySense™ mass velocity sensor. This design eliminates unwanted heat transfer components, such as stem conduction and sensor cross-talk, improving accuracy to +/-0.5% of reading.
Using Sierra's Smart Interface Portal (SIP) software, you can access critical data and reconfigure the flow meter in the field without the need to return it to the factory.
