A mass flow meter is a type of flow meter and is a device that accurately measures the mass flow rate of a fluid moving through a pipe. Mass flow rate differs from volumetric flow rate — which measures volume per unit time. Mass flow rate measures mass per unit time. Mass flow measurement is the basis of most recipe formulations, material balance determinations, billing, and custody transfer operations throughout industry. With these being the most critical flow measurements in a processing plant, the reliability and accuracy of mass flow detection is very important.
