An Introduction to Natural Gas Flow Meter Types
As far as buying gas flow meters is considered, you need to consider different types of it. Some common types include PD meters, differential pressure, the velocity flow meter , and mass flow meter. Let's find out more about them. What is a Flow Meter? Basically, a flow meter is responsible for measuring liquid flow or gas flow within a pipe. Let's talk about all of the four types one by one. 1. Mass Flow Using this meter, you can determine the amount of gas of liquid flowing via the meter. These units are of two types: the thermal type and the coriolis type. First of all, the coriolis type allows you to measure the mass flow upon the deflection force of the fluid that is moving via a vibrating tube. These units offer a higher level of accuracy. But they are really expensive. A thermal mass flow unit helps measure the flow of gas or liquid on the basis of heat transfer through a heating element. Again, these units offer great accuracy and are easy to install. 2. Velocity In th
