It is a kind of variable total area flowmeter. In a vertical tapered tube that expands from bottom to top. The force of the floating ball with the annular cross-section is borne by the hydrodynamic force. In turn, the floating ball can be freely moved in the tapered tube. Raise and lower.

It is an instrument that measures the total flow based on the gas pressure caused by the flow detection device installed in the pipeline, the known fluid standard and the specifications of the inspection room and the pipeline.

A non-streamlined vortex generator is placed in the fluid. The fluid is alternately separated on both sides of the generator to release two series of standard overlapping vortex meters.

It is a key type of rate flow meter. It uses a multi-leaf motor rotor (turbocharger) to experience the average water flow of the fluid. Then it calculates the total flow or total output.

A meter that measures the total flow rate based on the efficacy of the fluid fluidity on the ultrasonic beam (or ultrasonic single pulse).

The thermal flowmeter sensor includes 2 sensing technology components. A speed sensor and a temperature sensor. They compensate and calibrate the gas temperature changes fully automatically.

The electric heater part of the instrument heats the speed sensor to a certain time constant higher than the temperature of the working condition. A stable temperature difference is generated between the speed sensor and the sensor that measures the temperature of the working condition.

When the temperature difference does not change, the kinetic energy consumed by the electric heater. It can also be said that the heat dissipation value is proportional to the mass flow rate of the passing gas. It is suitable for the measurement of single gas and a fixed proportion of multiple gases.

The basic principle is to use the Coriolis force caused by the fluidity of the fluid in the vibrating tube. The force can be measured immediately or indirectly to obtain the fluid mass flow.

Gas mass flow meter working principle

The thermal flowmeter is a flowmeter designed based on the principle of thermal diffusion.

That is, when the fluid flows through the heat-generating object, the heat loss of the heat-generating object is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid.

The sensors of the series flowmeter have two standards RTD,

one for the heat source, and one for measuring the temperature of the fluid.

When the fluid flows, the temperature difference between the two is linear with the flow rate,

and then the relationship is controlled by microelectronic control technology.

Converted to a linear output that measures the flow signal.

(2) It can work normally at room temperature or 100 degrees or even higher temperature. It does not need any temperature compensation. It can be effectively and directly measured.

(3) The gas mass flow meter has a relatively wide range. Generally speaking, it can take into account both small flow and large flow measurement. It is especially suitable for those large-caliber measurements.

(4) The flow resistance of the gas mass flowmeter is basically declining. The ability to resist media corrosion is relatively strong, and the measurement accuracy is relatively high.

(5) When the gas mass meteor meter is actually outputting the signal, it will take into account the situation of each signal, and it can be displayed by remote transmission, which is convenient for cooperating with other meters. It can also be effectively realized after this. Multi-flow records can be automatically accumulated, and data can be easily searched anytime and anywhere.

Unit of gas flow: cfm. Square refers to 1 cubic meter of gas. Strictly speaking, square should be a unit of volume, not a unit of flow.

CMM is a commonly used medium-scale flow unit, per minute.

During the unit British period, the filter passes through a certain volume of air flow. We generally use m3/h air volume unit. Foreign countries also use m3/h air volume unit cfm (cubic feet per minute). That is, ft3/min cubic feet/minute.

Commercial conversion is: 1cfm≈1.7m3/h.
