Working Principle

1. Thermal Mass Flow Meter (Most Common for Gas)

  • Works on the principle of heat transfer
  • A heated sensor is placed in the gas flow stream
  • Gas flowing past the sensor removes heat
  • The amount of heat loss is directly proportional to the mass flow rate
    The instrument measures:
  • Temperature difference between heated sensor and reference sensor
  • Converts it into mass flow rate (kg/h or Nm³/h)
    Best for:
  • Air, nitrogen, compressed gases
  • Low flow applications
