Volume flow measurement

Depending on the composition of the exhaust gas, temperature, stack diameter, and pressure conditions, etc., different measurement methods are used to determine volumetric flow and exhaust gas velocity in industrial exhaust gases: the impact pressure method or ultrasonic technology.
