Thermal gas mass flow meter is designed on the basis of thermal dispersion, and adopts
method of constant differential temperature to measuring gas flow. It has advantages of
small size, easy installation, high reliability and high accuracy, etc.
The meter contains two platinum resistance temperature sensors. The thermal principle
operates by monitoring the cooling effect of a gas stream as it passes over a heated
sensor. Gas flowing through the sensing section passes over two sensors one of which is
used conventionally as a temperature sensor, whilst the other is used as a heater. The
temperature sensor monitors the actal process values whilst the heater is maintained at
a constant differential temperature above this by varying the power consumed by the
sensor. The greater the gas velocity, the greater the cooling effect and power required to
maintain the differential temperature. The measured heater power is therefore a measure
of the gas mass flow rate.
Measuring the mass flow or volume flow of gas
Do not need to do temperature and pressure compensation in principle with accurate
measurement and easy operation.
Wide range: 0.5Nm/s~100Nm/s for gas. The meter also can be used for gas leak
detection
Good vibration resistance and long service life. No moving parts and pressure sensor
in transducer, no vibration influence on the measurement accuracy.
Easy installation and maintenance. If the conditions on site are permissible, the meter
can achieve a hot-tapped installation and maintenance. (Special order of
custom-made)
Digital design, high accuracy and stability
Configuring with RS485 or HART interface to realize factory automation and
integration
