Common Types of Gas Flow Meters
- >> Thermal Mass Flow Meters: Measure gas flow by tracking how much heat is carried away from a heated element as gas flows past it.
- >> Ultrasonic Flow Meters: Use sound waves to calculate the velocity of the gas moving through large pipelines.
- >> Coriolis Flow Meters: Measure the true mass flow rate using mechanical oscillation and the Coriolis effect.
- >> Differential Pressure Meters: Calculate flow speed by measuring the pressure drop across a restriction in the pipe (such as an orifice plate).
- >> Turbine Flow Meters: Use a mechanical rotor placed in the gas stream, where the spin speed matches the flow rate.
