What is liquid argon flow meter?
A flow meter for liquid argon is a specialized device designed to measure the flow rate of liquid argon. Liquid argon, a colorless and odorless cryogenic liquid, is commonly used in various industrial applications, such as welding, metal processing, and scientific research.
Coriolis flow meter for liquid argon mass flow measurement
A Coriolis flow meter is a clever way to measure liquid argon flow. Here's how it works: it uses a tube that twists and turns, and when the liquid argon flows through it, it causes the tube to bend. By measuring this bending, we can figure out how fast the liquid argon is moving.
Cryogenic flow meter for LAr measurement
The flow meter for liquid argon needs to be able to operate under cryogenic conditions, as argon liquefies at very low temperatures (-185.9°C , 87 Kelvin or -302.6°F). It should have materials and components that can withstand these extreme temperatures without compromising accuracy or performance. However Coriolis flow meter can withstand -200 °C min temperature.
High accuracy mass flow measurement for liquid argon measurement
Because liquid argon is used for important jobs where accuracy is key, the flow meter needs to be really precise and reliable. Coriolis flow meters can measure both slow and fast flows accurately, making sure we handle liquid argon safely and efficiently.
Here are some technical details about Coriolis flow meters for liquid argon
