Mass flow meter

A mass flow meter measures the amount of a substance, usually a liquid or gas, passing through it over a period of time, specifically in terms of mass rather than volume. Unlike traditional flow meters that measure how much space the fluid occupies, mass flow meters determine the actual weight flow rate, which is important for precise processes such as chemical reactions or fuel management. They work by assessing properties like temperature, pressure, and electromagnetic or thermal signals to accurately calculate the mass flow, ensuring consistent and reliable measurements critical to industrial operations.
