Thermal dispersion technologyfor mass flow measurement

Thermal dispersion technology for mass flow measurement is widelyknown but many times very misunderstood measurement technology in theprocess industry. This very accurate and reliable technology is well suited forvirtually all air or gas measurement needs and used in some of the toughestapplications. This meeting will discuss the theory and advantages of thermaldispersion and also touch why there is a need for flow conditioning with thistechnology.

Steve Cox is currently employed as a regional sale manager with FluidComponents International in San Diego. He brings over 20 years’ experiencein process and instrumentation and is familiar with various meteringtechnologies. Steve is college educated in England and has lived and workedin both, England, Australia, and the USA. He lives with his wife Susan inVista, California.
