Thermatel® TA2 thermal mass flow meter

Thermatel® TA2 thermal mass flow meter

The Thermatel® Model TA2 is an easy-to-use, economical, continuous gas flow meter that is often utilized to manage energy costs or to meet environmental regulations in a variety of industries.  TA2 total cost of ownership is reduced through ease of installation, calibration verification in the field and reduced maintenance with no moving parts or ports to plug.  Since the measurement is based on heat transfer, the TA2 has reliable performance at low gas flows and pressures where other technologies have difficulties.

Technology

Thermal mass flow meter

Thermal flow meters are primarily used in air and gas flow measurement applications. The meters consist of a transmitter and probe with temperature sensors (RTDs) located in the pins at the bottom of the probe. One sensor measures the process temperature and the other sensor is heated to a specific temperature above this. As the flow rate increases, heat gets taken away from the heated sensor in the form of convective heat transfer.
