Register now at http://www.sierrainstruments.com/register. 

This warranty does not cover any damage or discoloration caused by corrosion due to gases, liquids, or any other source, nor does it cover normal wear of any seals in its products and with gases other than air, or unless otherwise specified in the contract. Such returns are contingent on Sierra's examination and reasonable satisfaction that any defects are covered by this warranty and that the Buyer has not returned the equipment in a damaged condition, due to any negligence, tampering, misapplication or product modification on the part of the Buyer or his agents. Sierra shall not be liable for installation charges, for expenses of Buyer for repairs or replacement, for damages from delay or loss of use, or other indirect or consequential damages of any kind.

Sierra extends this warranty only to Sierra products properly used and properly installed for the particular application for which intended and quoted, and this warranty does not cover products which have been modified without Sierra's approval or which have been subjected to unusual physical or electrical stress, alteration, or tampering, or upon which the original identification marks have been removed or altered. Whenever the design of the equipment to be furnished or the system in which it is to be incorporated originates with the Buyer, Sierra's warranty is limited specifically to matters relating to furnishing Sierra equipment free of defects in materials and workmanship and Sierra assumes no responsibility for implied warranties of fitness for purpose or use. Any replacement or repair shall be to Sierra's factory, unless otherwise directed. No items shall be returned for warranty repair without prior written authorization from Sierra.

Note: Sierra’s InnovaSwitch™ Flow Level Switches come with a two (2) year warranty with the above stipulations. 

Lifetime Limited Warranty on Patented DrySense™ Sensor Technology

Product Information

In 1997, Sierra was the first to introduce a combination volumetric vortex and multivariable mass flow meter. Today, Sierra’s completely redesigned InnovaMass® iSeries™ 240i/241i builds on two decades of success measuring five process variables for gas, liquid, and steam with one connection.

With this multivariable capability, it's easier to maximize your steam productivity and reduce overall cost of ownership for more energy savings.

It Has Apps.  Now You Have The Power.
