Thermal Mass Flow Meters
Cross Company Thermal Mass Flow Meters
Thermal mass flow meters are used for measuring gas flow without the need for correction for temperature or pressure. A thermal mass flow meter measures the amount of heat that is transferred as the gas flows past a heated surface. For a complete explanation of the principles behind thermal mass flow, please read our article “Understanding How Thermal Mass Flow Meters Work.“
Their principle of operation relies on the heat transfer from a heated probe to the flowing gas, enabling precise and direct mass flow measurement. This also makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. If you need to accurately measure gas flow, Cross Company Process Solutions can help.

Precision Measurement for Gas Flow Applications
There are many industries and processes that can benefit from thermal mass flow meters. Whether it’s for measurement, monitoring, or processing, being able to accurately measure gas flow can be a critical consideration.
For instance, natural gas measurement (in the oil and gas industry) relies on thermal mass flow meters to accurately measure natural gas flow rates. This helps in custody transfer and the monitoring of gas consumption across applications. Further, in the food and beverage industry, thermal mass flow meters are used to monitor the gas flow rates in various processes like carbonation, fermentation, and aeration.
At Cross, we offer a wide selection of high-quality thermal mass flow meters from industry-leading manufacturers. Our experienced team can assist you in choosing the right meter for your specific application, ensuring precise and reliable gas flow measurement in your industrial processes.

Benefits of Thermal Mass Flow Meters
There are many benefits to utilizing thermal mass flow meters in your process application. Some of those benefits include
Direct Mass Flow Measurement
A big advantage of these meters is their ability to directly measure mass flow. Unlike volumetric flow meters (which require additional pressure and temperature compensation), thermal mass flow meters offer immediate readings.
Wide Application Range
Thermal mass flow meters can be used in a wide range of gas flow applications. This includes compressed air, natural gas, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, and many other clean gases. This contributes to their wide industrial use.
High Accuracy
With cutting-edge sensor technology and precise temperature control, thermal mass flow meters offer high accuracy and reliability in flow measurement. They accurately measure gas flow rates, ensuring confidence in your data.
