13、acy and Uncertainty 27iiiFOREWORDThermal dispersion mass flowmeters comprise a family of instruments for the measurementof the total mass flow rate of a fluid, primarily gases, flowing through closed conduits.The operation of thermal dispersion mass flowmeters is attributed to L.V. King who, in 1914

14、 1,published his famous Kings Law revealing how a heated wire immersed in a fluid flow measuresthe mass velocity at a point in the flow. King called his instrument a “hot-wire anemometer.”However, it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that industrial-grade thermal dispersion massflowmeters finally em

15、erged.This Standard covers the thermal dispersion type of thermal mass flowmeter. A companionstandard, ASME MFC 21.1, Measurement of Fluid Flow by Means of Capillary Tube ThermalMass Flowmeters and Controllers, covers the other most commonly used type of thermal massflowmeter. Both types measure flu

16、id mass flow rate by means of the heat convected from a heatedsurface to the flowing fluid. In the case of the thermal dispersion, or immersible, type of flowmeter,the heat is transferred to the boundary layer of the fluid flowing over the heated surface. In thecase of the capillary tube type of flo

17、wmeter the heat is transferred to the bulk of the fluid flowingthrough a small heated capillary tube. The principles of operation of the two types are boththermal in nature, but are so substantially different that two separate standards are required.Additionally, their applications are much differen

18、t. Thermal dispersion flowmeters are commonlyused for general industrial gas-flow applications in pipes and ducts, whereas capillary tubeflowmeters are primarily used for smaller flows of clean gases in tubes.Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcomed. They should be sent toThe Am

26、 MASS FLOWMETERS1 SCOPEThis Standard establishes common terminology andgives guidelines for the quality, description, principleof operation, selection, installation, and flow calibrationof thermal dispersion flowmeters for the measurementof the mass flow rate, and to a lesser extent, the volumet-ric

27、 flow rate, of the flow of a fluid in a closed conduit.Multivariable versions additionally measure fluid tem-perature. Thermal dispersion mass flowmeters are appli-cable to the flow of single-phase pure gases and gasmixtures of known composition and, less commonly, tosingle-phase liquids of known co

28、mposition.

30、measured quantity.calibration: the experimental determination of the rela-tionship between the quantity being measured and thedevice that measures it, usually by comparison with astandard. Also, the act of adjusting the output of a deviceto bring it to a desired value, within a specified tolerance,f

31、or a particular value of the input.cavitation: the implosion of vapor bubbles formed afterflashing when the local pressure rises above the vaporpressure of a liquid. (See also flashing.)flashing: the formation of vapor bubbles in a liquid whenthe local pressure falls to or below the vapor pressureof

32、 the liquid, often due to local lowering of pressurebecause of an increase in the liquid velocity. (See alsocavitation.)1flow profile: graphic representation of the velocitydistribution.fullydevelopedvelocitydistribution: a velocity distribution,in a straight length of pipe, that has zero radial and

33、azimuthal fluid velocity components and an axisymme-tric axial velocity profile that is independent of axialposition along the pipe.rangeability (turndown): flowmeter rangeability is theratio of the maximum to minimum flow rates orReynolds number in the range over which the metermeets a specified un

34、certainty (accuracy).repeatability (qualitative): the closeness of agreementamong a series of results obtained with the same methodon identical test material, under the same conditions(same operator, same apparatus, same laboratory, andshort intervals of time). See also repeatability(quantitative).r

35、epeatability (quantitative): the value below which theabsolute difference between any two single test resultsobtained under same conditions may be expected tolie with a specified probability. In the absence of otherindications, the probability is 95%. See also repeatability(qualitative).reproducibil
