Types of Mass Flow Meters

A mass flow meter is an instrument that measures flow based on the mass of a fluid. It can be widely used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical,

 food processing, aerospace and other industrial fields. There are many common mass flow meters. Here is a brief introduction:

1. Coriolis mass flow meter

Coriolis mass flowmeter is a mass flowmeter that uses the modulation effect of fluid mass flow on the oscillation of a vibrating tube, that is, 

the Coriolis force phenomenon, for the purpose of mass flow measurement. It is generally composed of a sensor and a transmitter. Coriolis 

mass flowmeters can be quite effective in the following areas: batching and batch measurement of various feed materials, measurement and 

control of material flow during processes, rapid and variable density measurement, and product quality monitoring. role.

2.MFC Mass Flow Controller

The mass flow meter directly measures the mass flow rate of the medium passing through the flow meter. It can also measure the density of 

the medium and indirectly measure the temperature of the medium. Since the transmitter is an intelligent instrument with a microcontroller 

as its core, it can derive more than a dozen parameters for users to use based on the above three basic quantities. The mass flow meter has 

flexible configuration, powerful functions, and high performance-price ratio. It is a new generation of flow meter.

MFC Mass Flow Controller is small in size, easy to install, accurate in measurement, and highly cost-effective.

3. Thermal mass flow meter

Thermal mass flow meter is an instrument that uses the heat of measuring fluid to determine its mass flow rate. Simultaneous heating and 

temperature sensors are used in combination, and the electronic instrument measures the resistance at the sensor location and converts it 

into a flow signal. Thermal mass flowmeters are divided into direct thermal measurement type, indirect thermal measurement type and mixed 

flow type.

4. Ultrasonic mass flow meter

Ultrasonic mass flow meter is an instrument that uses the relationship between the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves of a certain 

frequency in the fluid and the flow rate to measure mass flow. Typically 2 to 4 sound sources and receivers are used, measuring parameters 

such as the time and velocity of sound waves propagating in the fluid. Ultrasonic mass flowmeter has high measurement accuracy, wide range, 

and has the advantages of real-time display and output signal. It is widely used in petrochemical, steel, fertilizer, electric power and other fields.

5. Rotary mass flow meter

Rotary mass flow meters are commonly used in petrochemical, oil refining, fertilizer, chemicals, environmental protection and other fields. 

It is an instrument that uses the force of the fluid on the rotor to measure flow. The mass flow rate of the fluid is measured through the 

rotation of the rotor and sensor.

6. Gravity mass flow meter

Gravity mass flowmeter is an instrument that uses the gravity effect of a device hanging on a pipe in the fluid in the flowmeter to measure flow. 

Usually the measuring device is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy and can be used in high temperature and high pressure 

environments.
