The medium of one of the two tubes of the thermal gas mass flowmeter does not flow, and the medium of the other tube flows. By comparing the Coriolis force of two pipes to obtain the flow rate, it is convenient to eliminate the natural vibration of the pipeline, the vibration of the fluid itself and other factors that affect or interfere with the measurement.

Thermal gas mass flowmeters are a type of mass flowmeter specifically designed for measuring the flow rate of gases, while mass flowmeters, in a broader sense, can measure the flow rate of both gases and liquids. Here are some key differences between thermal gas mass flowmeters and other types of mass flowmeters:

The origin of the thermal gas mass flowmeter is from the hot wire anemometer. The temperature of the platinum heating wire has a proportional relationship with the change in the flow rate of the fluid: the faster the flow rate, the more heat is taken away.

Although the thermal gas mass flowmeter has many advantages in this respect, it can not be used for large pipe runoff measurement, pressure loss is relatively large, and the price is more expensive, which limits its measurement application in natural gas long distance pipeline.

The correct use of gas flowmeters is the key to ensure accurate and reliable measurement results. The following is the correct use of gas flowmeters:

At the heart of a thermal mass flow meter is a sensor that heats up a portion of the gas stream while monitoring the temperature difference between the heated and unheated sections. As the gas flows over the heated sensor, it carries away heat, and the temperature difference provides a direct measurement of the mass flow rate. The beauty of this method lies in its ability to provide accurate readings across a wide range of flow rates, from low to high velocities, ensuring versatility and reliability in various industrial settings.
