Can a mass flow meter be used without a bypass valve?
Thread Content
Seeking help: The mass flow meter is in a suspended position and cannot be operated; is it possible to do without a bypass valve assembly? Will it lead to serious consequences? Thank you to all the experts
The purpose of adding a bypass is mainly to allow for isolation during damage repair or replacement
It’s a critical location; if it’s cut off, the vehicle stops
So it’s acceptable to have to stop the vehicle once it gets damaged, right? Otherwise, install it
How to switch it off when the flow meter fails. A bypass must be added
Whether a flow meter is equipped with a bypass pipeline depends mainly on the process requirements. If it doesn’t matter if the flow meter is broken, then there’s no need for it ； If the flow meter is important and requires adjustment, interlocking, or trade settlement, etc., a bypass must be available. And what the original poster is asking is whether it’s possible to use a mass flow meter without a bypass valve Answer: No (under normal circumstances), because the locations where mass flow meters are needed are usually critical ones, and bypasses are required at such critical or important locations. (Of course, your boss has a lot of money, so quality flow meters are used even in ordinary places as well.)

It’s important to ensure that the pipe is full; zeroing the device is also crucial. So, go ahead and do it. . It’s too much to blame them. . .

Wow, it seems that none of the mass flow meters we use on-site have bypass valve assemblies; there’s just the flow meter itself
