    1.4 Measuring principle TGF450 Series Thermal Mass Flowmeter measures gas mass flow base on thermal diffusion theory and thermal principle of Newton , It have two RTD sensor (ref to picture 1.2) located in the flow. One RTD is heated to T1 by a heating power rate of P, the other is not heated but to measure the medium temperature T2.
  • Page 7: 2 Install

    Picture 1.2 Principle The K1,K2 and K3 in above equation is constant related to the character of medium . So the mass flow Q can be get through measuring the heating power rate P and difference of temperature T . In actual application, there are two different method, one is consistent current method (keep the P unchanged) and the other is consistent temperature method (keep T unchanged)
