Mass Flow Rate Measurement
About mass flow rate measurement
Measurement of the mass flow rate of
solids in the process industries is normally concerned with solids
which are in the form of small particles produced by a crushing or
grinding process. Such materials are usually transported by some form
of conveyor, and this allows the mass flow rate to be calculated in
terms of the mass of the material on a given length of conveyor
multiplied by the speed of the conveyor.
The mass flow rate of a fluid is usually
determined by simultaneous measurement of the volume flow rate and the
fluid density, although a recently available alternative is the
Coriolis meter. As the measurement of the mass flow rate of fluids is
not a common requirement, the instruments suitable for this are not
well covered.
