What Is a Thermal Mass Flow Meter and How Do They Work?

A thermal mass flow meter is an instrument used to precisely and constantly measure the rate of flow of a fluid – normally a gas – through a pipe or conduit in some sort of industrial application.

Thermal mass flow meters are inserted directly into the center of flow of the fluid they’re measuring, either as a system mounted to the outside of the conduit with a probe entering through a port, or as a completely contained inline system that acts as part of the conduit itself. They provide a way to accurately monitor gas flow in an essentially passive manner that has a near-zero impact on the wider processes the gasses are involved in. They also offer high reliability and extremely low maintenance require
