Abstract: What is mass flow? We must understand this before we discuss methods to accomplish mass flow measurement. First, consider volumetric measurement of liquids. The simplest method to understand is the positive displacement meter. This type of meter allows a fixed amount of fluid to pass for each revolution of the metering element. If water is being measured, no corrections are necessary. If oil or other liquid hydrocarbons are being measured, it is necessary to adjust the actual volume measured by the meter to the equivalent volume at 60F. This is because liquid hydrocarbons expand and contract with chajiges in temperature, and a standard unit of volume is that volume existing when the fluid is at a temperature of 60F.
