  What is a Steam Flow meter?   A steam flow meter is a device that measures steam flow rate, primarily of saturated and superheated steam, as well as mass flow rates of boiler feed water in closed conduits. It can be used as a heat energy transfer meter to measure thermal energy utilising a variety of fluids as heat transfer medium (including thermic fluids / thermic oils). Steam Flow Meter gives the information you need to run a plant or a building operation efficiently, giving vital inputs like how much steam is being used and how much it is costing. Steam flow meters are helpful in evaluating the performance of the system and can provide useful data in assessing boiler performance, calculating boiler efficiency, and tracking the amount of steam required by the system. In some systems, steam flow meters offer a measurement signal for the boiler control system. Additionally, steam flow meters can be valuable in benchmarking efforts.   Why steam measurement is important?   Due to its

Thermal mass flow meter

  About- Thermal mass flow meters , also known as thermal dispersion or immersible mass flow meters, are used to measure total mass flow rate of a fluid, primarily gases, flowing through closed conduits.    It is a direct mass flow meter with no moving parts. Theory of Operation- A  Thermal Mass Flow Meter  contains two temperature sensors for this purpose. Single sensor measures the fluid temperature as a reference. The second sensor is heated and has a constant temperature differential relative to the main sensor. When the flow of air/gas starts heat is taken absent from the warmer sensor. The quantity of heat taken away is having a direct relation with the mass velocity of the fluid. That is how it is a straight mass flow meter. Being a through mass flow meter, it does not require any pressure and temperature compensation. Types- There are two types of Thermal Mass Flow meters:   1-       Thermal Dispersion/Immiscible Type:  In case of Thermal dispersion or immersible type, the heat
