Popis: The volumetric flow meter for gases with magnetic fluid is built using a sensing unit (without moving solid mechanical components but exploiting the properties of magnetic fluids) and an electronic measuring system. The sensing unit consists of two sensors, one for differential pressure in gases (equipped with a laminar flow-measuring tube) and another for acceleration or inclination angle. Starting from some technical characteristics (of these sensing units) obtained by a numerical simulation method (or by an analytical one), the paper presents the possibility of using this kind of transducers in a N +1 flow meters network for gases. Every N flow meters of closed range are supervised by another flow meter of higher range. This structure can warn (by software) about any problem (e.g. gases leakage) in the network.
