The measurement principle
Measurement is intrinsically compensated in temperature and independent from pressure. Measurement is displayed directly in standard cubic-meters*.The measurement technology is based on a MEMS "Micro Thermal Flow Sensing" principle. Two temperature sensors are symmetrically placed around a microheating element: under stopped-flow conditions, both sensors measure the same temperature. As the flow rate increases, heat is carried away from the upstream sensor towards the downstream sensor and the measured temperature difference between the two sensors is proportional to the mass flow rate.

The high accuracy of the measuring principle ensures the gas meter compliance with the MID (Measuring Instruments Directive). Such micro-thermal measuring principle is also commonly used in laboratory instruments. Resistance to contaminants and dust is ensured by design: sensor module configuration prevents dust from affecting sensor response. The accuracy of measurement is not affected by changes in the chemical composition of the European distributed gases within the 2nd family groups H and L (as defined by EN 437:2003).
By measuring specific gas properties, a pre-set auto-calibration process guarantees the required accuracy levels without any additional adjustment. The meter is also able to operate in air (testphase), by calibrating itself accordingly without any additional adjustment.
