Residents near the mine are claiming health issues due to the increased ambient air pollution, noise,… Details Inside Gas Flow Meters The 3 Most Important Things to Consider When Purchasing a Gas Flow Meter Selecting a gas flow meter can be complex task with several key parameters and attributes to consider. With several options in the marketplace, it can become a monumental task comparing features and benefits with your process and regulatory needs. With our decades of experience and several thousand units in the field, these are the main 3 items that we find most helpful to customers when looking for a gas flow meter. Flow Range From a purely technical standpoint, flow is the measurement of a quantity of fluid (liquid or gas) that moves past a point per unit time. You are essentially measuring how much “fluid” moves through the system over time. Regardless of the process, knowing how much material you will flow is necessary from the initial design of your flow system to quality control. In the case of flow controllers and meters, they require calibration by equipment that can match their flow range. The DryCal product line now includes products that span flow ranges as low as 0.5sccm, up to 1500slm. Accuracy Having a documented, defensible calibration is critical for any organization. The question that comes up is: “what accuracy do you need?”. As much as everyone can agree on the advantages of primary standards over transfer standards, level of accuracy is not as clear cut. In some industries 4:1 is the norm, some have less stringent requirements, some more so. Amongst the Defender, FlexCal, and Metrology Series lines of DryCal products, Mesa Labs can provide you with the right product for your needs; offering superior measurement uncertainties as tight as 0.15%. Gas species So, you are measuring gas flow through your system. You may ask yourself, what happens to my system if I decide to flow a different species of gas? Will anything in my system change? In many cases that answer is yes, things will change. Many types of gas metering and gas controlling hardware are impacted by the species of gas flowing through them. As these devices typically use indirect methods to identify flow such as thermal change or differential pressure. These methods rely on the particular behaviors of a specific gas. The DryCal primary flow standards are not plagued with these issues. As the technology used is direct measurement of a volume per time, the data is unaffected by gas species. That means you can calibrate all your different equipment that flow different gases with the same DryCal. Mesa Labs offers different series of calibrator to accommodate a variety of flow ranges and different applications. Keeping these items in mind will make your selection of the appropriate gas flow meter for your specifications much more successful. Identifying the important parameters ahead...
