What are the characteristics of the thermal gas flow meter?
The thermal gas flowmeter has many remarkable characteristics, which make it widely used in the field of gas flow measurement. The following are the main features of thermal gas flowmeters:
1. Unique measurement principle: The thermal gas flowmeter is designed based on the principle of thermal diffusion or heat conduction, and determines the mass flow rate of the gas by measuring the temperature difference between the heater and the thermometer. This measurement is direct and accurate without temperature and pressure compensation.
2. Direct measurement of mass flow: Unlike other types of flow meters, thermal gas flow meters can directly measure the mass flow or standard volume flow of gas without complex conversion or calculation.
3. Wide range ratio: The thermal gas flowmeter has a wide measuring range and can measure gases from very low flow rates (such as 0.1Nm/s) to high flow rates (such as 120Nm/s), which is suitable for a variety of different application scenarios.
4. Good seismic performance: Because the sensor of the thermal gas flowmeter has no moving parts and pressure sensing parts, its seismic performance is excellent, and it can maintain stable measurement accuracy in a large vibration environment.
5. Long service life: Due to the optimization of structural design and material selection, the service life of the thermal gas flowmeter is relatively long, which can meet the needs of long-term continuous measurement.
6. Easy installation and maintenance: the thermal gas flowmeter is compact in overall design and easy to install. At the same time, its digital circuit measurement makes maintenance and calibration work relatively simple.
7. High degree of digitalization: modern thermal gas flow meters generally use digital circuit measurement technology, which not only improves measurement accuracy and stability, but also facilitates connection and data transmission with computers or other intelligent equipment.
8. A variety of communication interfaces: thermal gas flowmeters are usually equipped with RS-485 communication or HART communication interfaces, which is easy to achieve factory automation and integration.
9. Wide applicability: hot gas flowmeter can be selected under normal pressure, high pressure or negative pressure, normal temperature, high temperature and other conditions, and is insensitive to dust, solid particles, oil, water and other impurities in the gas, especially suitable for the measurement of dirty fluids.
10. Easy output: the thermal gas flowmeter can output the telecommunication number and can be displayed far, which is easy to achieve flow recording, self-control or accumulation functions after cooperating with other meters.
The thermal gas flowmeter has a wide application prospect in the field of gas flow measurement due to its unique measurement principle, direct measurement of mass flow, wide range ratio, good seismic performance, long service life, easy installation and maintenance, high degree of digitization, a variety of communication interfaces, wide applicability and convenient output.
