How Does Gas Composition Affect Thermal Mass Flow Meter Accuracy?

Thermal gas mass flow meters are the preferred instruments for measuring the flow of dry, stable gases—whether pure gases (such as oxygen, compressed air, nitrogen, chlorine, etc.) or gas mixtures (such as biogas). Users often ask us a question during use: Will changing the type of gas being measured or changing the composition of the … Read more

7 Types of Biogas Flow Meters – 9 Steps to Select the Right One

Biogas is a form of clean energy, primarily composed of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). In the fields of renewable energy, environmental protection, and energy management, biogas flow measurement is a critical step in ensuring accuracy during production, utilization, and trade. This article outlines the various types of biogas flow meters and provides guidance … Read more

Liquid Oxygen / Oxygen Pressure Transducer | Cleaned for Oxygen Service (Certificate Included)

Oxygen cleaning is a specialized cleaning procedure for special-purpose pressure transmitters, also known as oil-free. For example, oxygen pressure transmitters must undergo rigorous oxygen-grade cleaning to ensure the sensor is clean and free of oil, corrosion, scale, particles, and other impurities. This completely eliminates the potential risk of oxygen combustion or explosion caused by oil … Read more

Dynamic vs Kinematic Viscosity

When purchasing an online viscometer, do you often encounter this situation: you specify the viscosity in cSt at 50°C, but the manufacturer provides the value in cP, leaving you confused? Dynamic viscosity (μ) is a fluid’s internal resistance to shear, measured in centipoise (cP = mPa·s). Kinematic viscosity (ν) is that value divided by density, … Read more

How to Verify Fuel Tanker Delivery Volume at a Gas Station

Accurate monitoring of unloading volume is crucial for tanker truck deliveries to gas stations, as well as trade transfers and distribution. Data from before, during, and after delivery should be precisely correlated, at least within permissible margins. So, how do you calculate the delivery volume of tanker trucks to gas stations? Where do gaps typically … Read more
