Plug in thermal mass flowmeter is an instrument widely used in the field of industrial measurement, mainly for measuring the mass flow rate of gases or liquids.

Manufacturer of plug in thermal gas mass flowmeter
The plug-in thermal gas mass flowmeter sensor can be installed and maintained online. The installation process is to first weld a base with external threads on the outer wall of the pipeline, install a 1-inch stainless steel ball valve on the base, and then use a special tool to drill a hole with a diameter of 22mm in the pipeline. After drilling, remove the special tool, and finally install the sensor on the valve and insert it into the center of the pipeline (the insertion position of the sensor is determined at the factory).

Thermal gas mass flowmeter is an instrument that uses the principle of thermal diffusion to measure gas flow rate. The sensor consists of two reference level thermal resistors (RTDs). One is the speed sensor RH, and the other is the temperature sensor RMG that measures changes in gas temperature. When these two RTDs are placed in the measured gas, the sensor RH is heated, and the other sensor RMG is used to sense the temperature of the measured gas. As the gas flow rate increases, the airflow carries away more heat, and the temperature of the sensor RH decreases.
