Thermatel® TA2 thermal mass flow meter
The Thermatel® Model TA2 thermal mass flow meter delivers accurate, continuous gas flow measurement for a wide range of industrial applications. Designed for easy installation and long-term reliability, the TA2 is an economical solution for monitoring and controlling gas flow to help manage energy costs and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
The TA2 minimizes maintenance and downtime while providing dependable performance in challenging process conditions. Its heat transfer–based measurement technology offers exceptional accuracy and repeatability at low gas flow rates and pressures—where traditional differential pressure or mechanical meters may struggle.
Ideal for use in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, wastewater treatment, and power generation, the Thermatel® TA2 offers a low total cost of ownership, simple field calibration verification, and proven Magnetrol® quality.
Technology
Thermal mass flow meter
Thermal flow meters are primarily used in air and gas flow measurement applications. The meters consist of a transmitter and probe with temperature sensors (RTDs) located in the pins at the bottom of the probe. One sensor measures the process temperature and the other sensor is heated to a specific temperature above this. As the flow rate increases, heat gets taken away from the heated sensor in the form of convective heat transfer.

There is an inherent non-linear relationship between power and mass flow. The microprocessor in the TA2 compares the power against the calibration curve and converts the power requirements to the mass flow rate. Temperature is also measured to provide temperature compensation of the mass flow over the operating range of the instrument.
