What does a mass flow meter do?

A mass flowmeter can determine the flow rate by measuring the mass or weight passing through the pipe within a unit time, rather than by measuring volume or velocity. This technology provides more accurate flow measurements because it eliminates the effects of factors such as temperature, pressure, and density on flow measurements. Mass flow meters usually consist of a sensor, computer and display. Sensors measure the quality of the fluid and transmit the data to a computer for processing. The computer can calculate the flow size based on the data provided by the sensor and display the results on the display. Some advanced mass flow meters can also provide other measurement parameters, such as temperature, pressure and density.

Mass flow meters are widely used in industrial production and laboratory research. It can be used to measure various types of liquids and gases, such as water, oil, natural gas, and air. Because the mass flow meter is a high-precision and reliable flow measurement device that can provide accurate flow measurement results, the mass flow meter has become an indispensable tool in many industries, such as chemical industry, food processing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and energy fields.
