Question { Reliance, 20576 }
What is the differace between Volumatric flow meter and Mass
flow meter.
Answer
Volumetric flow meter gives flow rate in terms of volume
viz liters/hr,gallon, m3/hr etc whereas mass flow meter
(coriolis) gives direct mass flwo rate viz kg/hr/tons/hr etc
Usually mass is derived by multiplying volume with product
density.
volumetric flow gives how much volume is passing through a
given point,it does not give the real mass of fluid is
passing.Mass flow is highly depends on the density as well
as on temperature,change in these changes the mass flow.
