    Gas Velocity Measurement For Process Air Volume Flow Control in Coating Equipment

    Uploaded by

    Naser Jahangiri
    1) Gas velocity measurement is important for process air volume flow control in coating equipment used in process engineering to coat particles larger than 0.4 mm, such as tablets, chewing gum, and sugar granules. 2) Precise recording of measuring data from the coating process is essential for high reproducibility. The volumetric flow of process air is a key variable to ensure consistency. 3) Testing showed the FLOWSIC 104 flow meter provided an attractive alternative to a vane anemometer for measuring the process air flow of up to 2000 m3/h in a coater installation, achieving a high level of reproducibility.
