Mass Flowmeter

Mass Flowmeter

Mass Flowmeter

(OP)
Any comments / help on selecting the best flowmeter that will be reliable in measuring the flue gas in a duct (15' x 15').
I am leaning towards the selection of the OFS-2000 (Optical Scintillation)and would like to get any feedback on it.

Thank you.

RE: Mass Flowmeter

I don't know about the Scintillation aspect.

However, you should talk to these people.  I built a mass flow meter\computer for them, years ago, that was for the stacks of the second largest gas fired power plant on the planet.  So I know they do this large stuff.  That was a special one as it was a sampling totalizator system for determining the particulates leaving the facility.

BTW: I have no association with Kurz at the present.

RE: Mass Flowmeter

Maybe you can use a Thermal mass flowmeter.
I know the Sierra mass flowmeter and use it in more aplications and work fine.
best regards.

RE: Mass Flowmeter

(OP)
Thanks for the replies.
Sierra would be affected by temp, moisture and any variation in the composition of the gas. I am more thinking of the optical as it is virtually unaffected by such variation as lon as the temp is not < 100F. Any references on the optical.

Thx all.
