Air flow through a high temperature chamber
Air flow through a high temperature chamber
(OP)
I am in need of your genius assistance. I need to measure the air flow inside a chamber where the the temperature is 193C. There is a movable belt that I envision I could sit an instrument on and it is carried through the chamber with a dwell time of ~60 seconds. I don't want to assume that the flow is the same from end to end. The device should be able to log or transmit down the convey. I am able to accomplish this for temperature with a Datatrace probe. I am looking for something similar for airflow. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your consideration.

I've found ambient temperature thermal dispersion instruments to be direction-sensitive, expecting a fixed up-stream/down-stream flow orientation. Maybe your flow in unidirectional, maybe not. Maybe there's a model that measures angular flow.
Let us know what you find.

Is it open at both ends during operation?

Where are you assuming that the flow can go to? Unless there are holes in the chamber? Conservation of mass says that gazinta = gazouta; mass flow is conserved.

Would one have to correct for (or calibrate for) the density, due to the high 193°C temperature?
