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. So there is a
temperature difference T
D
=T1-T2 . T
D
reach max when mass flow is 0. When the mass flow Q increases, the heat
on T1 is taken away so the T1 decline and the T
D
become smaller. So there is a certain relationship between
heating power rate P, difference of temperature T
D
and mass flow Q as below:
P/ T
D
= K1 + K2 F(Q)
