Thermal Mass Flowmeter

Thermal Mass Flowmeter Manufacturer for Gas Flow Measurement

ARTang supplies thermal mass flowmeters for direct gas mass flow measurement in industrial process and utility systems. Thermal mass flow meters are mainly used for air, compressed air, natural gas, biogas, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, flue gas, and other industrial gases.

By measuring the heat carried away by the gas flow, thermal mass flowmeters can provide stable mass flow measurement without moving parts. They are widely used in gas consumption monitoring, compressed air management, energy saving projects, environmental systems, and industrial gas distribution.

Key Features of Thermal Mass Flowmeters

Direct Gas Mass Flow Measurement

Measures gas mass flow directly for air, compressed air, natural gas, biogas, flue gas, and industrial gases, helping users monitor gas consumption and process supply more clearly.

 

Low Pressure Loss

Designed with no mechanical moving parts in the measuring path, helping reduce pressure loss and support stable operation in gas pipelines and utility systems.

Inline and Insertion Options

Available in inline and insertion-type structures. Inline models are suitable for smaller gas pipelines, while insertion types are practical for medium and large pipe gas measurement.

Thermal Mass Flowmeters Applications

Electromagnetic flow meter installed on large pipeline for flow measurement in industrial setting

Compressed Air

Used for compressed air consumption monitoring, leakage analysis, branch line measurement, and energy-saving management in industrial plants.

Sanitary flow meter installed in stainless steel piping for food or pharmaceutical industry application

Natural Gas

Suitable for natural gas flow monitoring in boiler systems, heating systems, process supply lines, and industrial gas consumption management.

Biogas

Used in wastewater treatment plants, anaerobic digestion systems, landfill gas systems, and renewable energy projects where biogas flow monitoring is required.

Industrial Gases

Suitable for nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, and other process gases used in chemical, electronics, metallurgy, and manufacturing industries.

How to Select the Right Thermal Mass Flowmeters

A suitable thermal mass flowmeter should be selected based on the gas type, pipe size, flow range, working conditions, and signal requirements.

Gas Type

Confirm the gas name and composition, such as compressed air, natural gas, biogas, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, or mixed gas.

Flow Range

Provide the minimum, normal, and maximum gas flow rate to help select a suitable measuring range.

Pipe Size & Installation Type

Confirm the pipe diameter and choose inline or insertion type according to the pipeline size and installation condition.

Pressure & Temperature

Provide the working pressure and temperature to confirm sensor structure, material, and calibration requirements.

    FAQ About Thermal Mass Flowmeters

    How do I confirm whether a thermal mass flowmeter is suitable for my gas?

    Please provide the gas type, gas composition, flow range, pressure, temperature, and pipe size. For mixed gas, biogas, flue gas, or gas with moisture and impurities, the application should be checked more carefully before selection.

    Can the meter be used for compressed air consumption monitoring?

    Yes. Thermal mass flowmeters are commonly used for compressed air main lines, branch lines, and equipment-level monitoring. They help factories track air consumption, leakage, and energy usage.

     

    Is an insertion type suitable for large gas pipelines?

    Yes. Insertion-type thermal mass flowmeters are often used for medium and large pipelines. They can reduce installation cost compared with full-bore meters, but the straight pipe length and installation position should be confirmed.

    Can thermal mass flowmeters be used for biogas or flue gas?

    Yes, but gas composition, moisture, dust, temperature, and possible corrosion should be checked first. These conditions affect sensor material, calibration, and long-term measurement stability.

    Does the meter need to be calibrated for a specific gas?

    In many projects, calibration or configuration should match the target gas or gas composition. This is especially important for natural gas, biogas, hydrogen, mixed gas, and other gases with different thermal properties.

    What should be checked before installation?

    The main points are pipe size, flow direction, straight pipe length, insertion depth, sealing method, pressure, temperature, and installation position. Correct installation is important for stable gas flow measurement.
