Thermal flow measuring technology has come a long way since the introduction of thermocouple technology and early hot wire anemometers. Thermal technologies depend on heat transfer and traditionally operate on differential temperature measurements between two temperature sensitive materials to generate a
signal directly proportional to the temperature differential and mass flow rate. Over the years, Thermal type flow sensors have
been utilized across a very wide spectrum of applications and feature an assortment of performance limits. Modern Thermal flow sensor designs have greatly evolved from laboratory
devices to rugged process instruments with each new generation representing a breakthrough in sensing performance. While Thermal sensing technologies have greatly evolved in terms of consistency and stability, there have been equally important breakthroughs in signal processing and firmware.
