Are there thermal mass flow meters that can measure liquids, and what advantages do these thermal flow meters offer in flow measurement applications?
Can’t a Coriolis force mass flow meter be used?
There should be thermal mass flow meters; search for them online.
Why use a thermal mass flow meter to measure liquids? There’s no need to choose a flow meter that’s overly complex for measuring liquids. Based on the principle of temperature compensation used in thermal mass flow meters, it is indeed possible to measure liquids as well, but generally people don’t use them in this way
Of course, if you really need the measured value to represent quality, a Coriolis mass flow meter is recommended; thermal mass flow meters are quite affected by hand temperature and flow velocity
Can’t it be done using a regular vortex flow meter with compensation?
Vortex flowmeters can also be used to measure liquids; what specific liquid do you want to measure? Different media each have their most suitable measurement methods
There are thermal mass flow meters for measuring liquids, but they are generally used in pipes with a diameter of DN40 or less
The accuracy only needs to reach grade 1; a regular flow meter can be used, which is cheaper.
Thermal mass flow meters are not very suitable for measuring liquids; if a cheaper option is desired, instruments such as electromagnetic, vortex flow meters, or standard throttle devices can be chosen depending on the properties of the medium.
There’s no need to use a thermal mass for liquids!!
Thermal mass flow meters from BRONKHORST in the Netherlands and ALIA in the United States can be used
How to use a thermal mass flow meter to measure liquids? Thermal mass flow meters are generally a good choice for measuring the mass flow rate of gases!
For applications that require high precision in measuring liquids, Coriolis mass flow meters should be used; for those where lower precision is sufficient, electromagnetic or ultrasonic flow meters will work fine. Domestic Coriolis mass flow meters are not expensive these days
The other parameters also need to be known. Thermal types have their advantages, but which type is more suitable depends on the specific operating conditions
Thermomass type is generally used in gas media, right? ! ! Mass flow meters are used for general liquids! You can fill out a data sheet and then consult the manufacturer.
