The thermal mass flowmeter is designed and manufactured on the basis of Kim's law, i.e. the principle of thermal diffusion. The so-called Kim's Law refers to the number of fluid molecules flowing through the superheat source in direct proportion to the amount of heat dissipation. There are two ways to realize this principle: one is the constant power method, the other is the constant temperature difference method. According to Gene's Law, mass flow Q can be obtained from the ratio of heating power to temperature difference of heat source. In practical work, we fix any parameter of heating power or temperature difference to measure the quality of fluid. The former is constant power method and the latter is constant temperature difference method. The thermal gas mass flowmeter manufactured by our company guarantees the consistency and reliability of the instrument through the application of the above principles and professional technology. The instrument has two sensors, one is the heat source and the other is the temperature of the medium. When the fluid flows, the molecular weight of the fluid flowing through the two sensors is proportional to the heat loss of the heat source. According to this relationship, the instrument calculates the mass flow rate of the gas through the electronic module. Since the instrument measures the mass of molecules in the fluid, it has nothing to do with the temperature and pressure of the medium, and the measured flow rate is the mass flow rate.

Note:
1. If the medium pressure is greater than 4MPa, it should be customized through consultation with the manufacturer.
2. The plug-in process is connected by locking device/ball valve, and the pipeline process is connected by flange or thread.
3. The expanding range of flow rate of medium measured by the product can reach 0.1-100Nm/S. From this, the flow measurement range of products with different pipe diameters can be deduced. The formula is: flow rate=(flow rate*(pipe diameter mm)²)/353.8.

Installation Method
Insert installation:
1. Position determination: Keep away from elbows, solenoid valves and other parts to ensure steady flow field.
2. Welding base: drill a circular hole of 22mm on the pipeline and weld the welding base.
3. Installation Instrument: Insert the locking head into the probe rod and tighten it with a wrench after confirming the insertion depth.
4. Recommends that users use Globe valve in the selection, Easy disassembly. Especially in the media sites which are harmful to human body.
5. Diameter less than DN300, insertion depth 1/2D+15mm. Diameter DN300~DN1000, insertion depth 1/4D+15mm. Diameter above DN1000, insertion depth 1/8D+15mm.
Pipe section installation method:
Horizontal and vertical installation. The special flange is welded with the front and
rear straight pipe sections, and then the front and rear straight pipe
sections, sealing gaskets and instruments are clamped with double-headed bolts
to form a whole. Then install
this set of components on the pipeline. When installing, attention should be
paid to the direction marked on the instrument should be consistent with the
direction of the fluid.
