Gas Flow Meters - Micronics America

Gas flow meters are devices used for measuring the flow rate of gases. They utilize different principles for measurement, including differential pressure, velocity, positive displacement, thermal sensing, and Coriolis effects. Differential pressure meters gauge the pressure decrease across a constriction, velocity meters gauge gas speed, positive displacement meters measure the flow rate by trapping and then releasing discrete volumes of gas, thermal meters detect heat transfer, and Coriolis meters measure the twisting of vibrating tubes. Each type has its advantages and limitations, with selection dependent on factors such as gas type, flow rate range, pressure, temperature, and required accuracy, for specific application needs.
