A Mass Flow Meter is an advanced flow measurement instrument designed to directly measure the mass flow rate of liquids, gases, and slurries with exceptional accuracy and reliability. Unlike conventional flow meters that measure volumetric flow, a Mass Flow Meter measures the actual mass of the fluid passing through the system, eliminating the need for additional compensation due to changes in temperature, pressure, or density.
Most Mass Flow Meters operate using the Coriolis Principle, where fluid flowing through vibrating tubes creates a measurable phase shift proportional to the mass flow rate. This technology enables simultaneous measurement of mass flow, density, temperature, and totalized flow, making it one of the most versatile and accurate flow measurement solutions available.
Mass Flow Meters are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, power generation, water treatment, and process manufacturing where precise flow measurement is critical for quality control, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
