In petrochemical enterprises, in what situations are mass flow meters commonly used? What are the classifications of mass flow meters?

Mass flow meters are expensive, and they require regular calibration at measurement stations; therefore, there aren’t many of them in petrochemical enterprises. They are generally used in loading systems, and they are also employed in important applications such as feed to plants and product discharge from plants, but this is rare. Moreover, mass flow meters rarely move during normal operation, so they generally do not fail.

Mass flow meters are primarily used for measurement purposes, and currently, Emerson’s models are the most common!

Mass flow meters are commonly used in trade settlement due to their high precision.

Mass flow meters have high precision, but of course they are also expensive. They are mainly used in measurement applications; after all, it’s a matter of cost – even if they’re pricey, they still need to be used! As for the types, I think I remember there being a distinction between direct and indirect ones.

Direct type: Coriolis type, thermal type (only for gases). Indirect type: calculated through a combination of various methods

Mass flow meters have very high accuracy, but they are quite expensive. It is used less frequently; in the 100,000-ton ion-exchange membrane caustic soda electrolysis plant I built, there is only one mass flow meter. Japanese manufacturers'

In China, mass flowmeters are not actually legal measuring instruments that can be used for trade settlement, not even those from Emerson.

Mass flow meters are commonly used in applications that require high measurement accuracy, such as in places where products are fed into or taken out of processes, like loading systems in tank areas

Many gas filling stations use mass flow meters for measurement. All kinds of certificates are available. Are there any regulations stating that it’s not allowed? Please explain the reason.

Inflators can be used because they possess the qualifications for accurate measurement and transfer, as clearly stipulated in the \"Catalogue of Working Measuring Instruments Subject to Mandatory Inspection in the People’s Republic of China\".
