Fixed Thermal Probe/Proxy Flow Meter
Abstract
We’re developing a low-cost, easy-to-install solution to measure gas flow at regulator stations. The goal is to keep the equipment as simple and non-intrusive as possible.
To measure the flow, we’ll use two methods:
- One method checks how open the regulator is and the pressure difference across it to estimate the flow.
- The other uses a small sensor that creates a slight temperature change at the outlet, which also helps estimate the flow.
By combining these two methods with the regulator’s technical details, we aim to measure the flow with an accuracy of about ±10%.
