Making Mass Flow Meters in India – for the world!
Direct mass flow measurement of gases T he story of Development of Thermal Dispersion Mass Flow Meter by Manas. The Thermal Dispersion Mass Flow Meter is a comparatively new concept. In India, nobody was manufacturing it with indigenous technology. Even today, it is mostly imported in India from the US or some other European countries. The cheaper versions are also available from China. It is consuming a lot of foreign exchange of the country. Right from the beginning, Manas has worked on the strategy of developing and manufacturing the technology products in India. This was the main reason for going after the development of the Thermal Mass Flow Meter. The most important issue was how to test the meters under development or even a developed meter. A flow calibration laboratory was essential for this reason. The Thermal meter being a mass Flow Meter, the laboratory also required the capability of calibrating in terms of mass measurement. So, the first challenge was, setting up a ca
