Introduction
The flange type thermal flow meter is a flow meter designed based on the principle of heat diffusion. That is, when the fluid flows through the heated object, the heat dissipated by the heated object is in a certain proportional relationship with the flow rate of the fluid. The sensor of this series of flow meters has two standard-grade RTDs, one for the heat source and the other for measuring the fluid temperature. When the fluid flows, the temperature difference between the two is linearly related to the flow rate. This relationship is then converted into a linear output of the flow measurement signal through microelectronic control technology.

Installation
Flange-type thermal gas mass flowmeter installation:
1. In terms of installation posture, most thermal distributed mass flowmeters can be installed in any posture (horizontal, vertical or inclined), as long as the electrical zero point adjustment is performed at the working pressure and temperature after installation. However, some instruments are sensitive to the installation posture and must be operated strictly in accordance with the instructions. The thermal mass flowmeter has a long response time and is not suitable for pulsating flow. It is prohibited to be exposed to an environment containing a large amount of corrosive gases. The vibration of the pipe connecting the thermal mass flowmeter within the commonly used range will not cause vibration interference. The maximum allowable ambient temperature and medium temperature range must be observed. Avoid condensation (such as installing condensation traps, insulation materials, etc.), install the transmitter in a cool place or use a sunshade. It is prohibited to share power with machines such as frequency converters and electric welders that may cause power line interference.
Daily maintenance of flanged thermal gas mass flowmeter:
In the daily operation of thermal gas mass flowmeter, the flowmeter should be regularly inspected and cleaned, loose parts should be tightened, and abnormal conditions in the flowmeter operation should be discovered and handled in time to ensure the normal operation of the flowmeter, reduce and delay the wear of parts, and extend the service life of the flowmeter. Some flowmeters will scale after a period of use, and must be cleaned by acid cleaning or other methods according to the degree of scaling.
