Massivooluhulgamõõtur

Massivooluhulgamõõtur is a device used to measure the mass flow rate of a fluid. Unlike volumetric flow meters that measure volume, mass flow meters directly determine the mass of the fluid passing through a given point per unit of time. This is particularly useful when the density of the fluid can vary, as it allows for a more accurate measurement of the actual amount of substance being transported.

There are several types of mass flow meters, with the most common being Coriolis mass flow meters and thermal mass flow meters. Coriolis mass flow meters utilize the Coriolis effect, where a vibrating tube through which the fluid flows experiences a twisting force proportional to the mass flow rate. Thermal mass flow meters, on the other hand, measure the amount of heat transferred from a heated sensor to the flowing fluid, which is directly related to the mass flow rate.

Massivooluhulgamõõtur devices are employed in a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. They are essential for accurate process control, inventory management, and ensuring product quality. For instance, in chemical plants, precise control of reactant flow rates is critical for optimal reaction yields and safety. In the food industry, measuring the mass flow of ingredients ensures consistent product composition and quality. The ability to measure mass flow directly, independent of fluid density changes due to temperature or pressure variations, makes these instruments indispensable for many industrial applications.
