In the past, there were very few options for effectively measuring the flow rate and air consumption, however, today there are quite a few options that are extremely accurate. The differential pressure technologies that were previously used could only measure at low flow velocities and within a certain measurement range. The mass flow meter that is available nowadays has eliminated these issues. The flow measurement in pipes is done directly without any other additional equipment or hardware.

Thermal flow meters are highly accurate with both low and high velocity airflow and that is essential to making changes or maintenance operations. Monitoring liters per minute or standard cubic feet of compressed air is done with much ease and accuracy with a mass flow meter with a direct reading. Available with a display of analog or digital, flow meters are easily managed and read, in order to assist manufacturers in meeting their air quality requirements.

While most of the conventional flow meters on the market require temperature and pressure transmitters in order to make up for changes in density, thermal mass flow meters do not need anything additional. The thermal flow meter has a lower pressure drop and can provide a better combustion control than conventional meters.
