Thermal Mass Flow meter

Visit the industry’s top suppliers of thermal mass flow meters and find the right model for your gas application. All the flowmeter vendors are carefully selected and are able to supply their mass flowmeter on an international basis

Applications for thermal mass flow meters are numerous and most the meter manufacturers on Flow Meter Directory will be able to supply mass meters that are calibrated to a particular gas or list of gases. The term term mass flow meter is very generic and sometimes misleading. For example, someone might be looking for a mass air flow meter, nitrogen mass flowmeter, oxygen mass flow meters or argon mass flowmeters and the list goes on.

There is a long list of applications but here are some- The Thermal Mass Flow Meter is seen in applications  controlling air flow during gas chromatography, the mass meters / mass flow controllers are popular in bioreactor gas control, hydrogen flow measurement, methane gas and argon gas being fed to burners, blending air into food products, control of carbon dioxide into drink production (fizzy drinks), flow control for tank blanketing and more.

You will see the mass flow meter in incineration processes.

Incineration involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste and sometimes described as thermal treatment. Incinerating waste  converts the waste into ash, flue gas, and heat

Mass Flow Meters at increased flow rates

At increased flow rates, more molecules come into contact with the heat source, absorbing even more heat. The amount of heat dissipated from the heat source in this manner is proportional to the number of molecules of a particular gas (or rather the “mass”) which is related to the thermal characteristics of the gas as well its flow characteristics

CORIOLIS MASS FLOW METERS

Lets not forget the coriolis mass flow meter which is unique in its own right because the coriolis mass meter effect is able to measure the amount of mass moving through the element directly which according to some makes it a true mass flow meter. The U shaped coriolis tube vibrates in a perpendicular direction to the flow and the twisting motion is proportional to the flow rate.

CORIOLIS FLOW METER APPLICATIONS

The applications for the coriolis mass flow meter are numerous. Some users are familiar with the ability to measure mass flow rate in liquids or gas at higher temperatures and higher pressure but one important  unique strength of the coriolis mass flow meter is its ability to report density directly .

Unlike most inferential flow meters which depend on some external density sensor and outside calculations, the coriolis mass meter is directly measuring density. Due to its popularity the coriolis mass flow meter is also custody transfer approved and used in numerous hydrocarbon flow measurement applications as a part of a billing system .This is because of the recognized high accuracy and repeatability.
