    Volume Approximation of Pressure Vessel Using Mass Flowmeter

    Thanks again for replies. George - I have confirmed with the manufacturer that the meter does account for dynamic compressibility, viscosity, and density. btrueblood - The meter is fitted with a totalizer, which integrates flow rate over time at dt = 1 ms. I’ve been getting very consistent...

    Volume Approximation of Pressure Vessel Using Mass Flowmeter

    Hi, thank you for responses. I am not sure if I am approaching the problem in the correct way. I initially thought that measuring the amount of air required to pressurize the vessel to a specific pressure and fitting that a linear function would allow me to compute volume of air in the fixture...

    Volume Approximation of Pressure Vessel Using Mass Flowmeter

    Hi, first post! So forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place. I work in lithium ion battery chemistry R+D. As part of a safety test, we want to approximate the volume of the inside of a pressure vessel with a porous structure inside. I have a mass flowmeter hooked up to a pressure...
