SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAKING AND USING A MASS FLOW DEVICE

摘要

A system and method for making a mass flow device (21) for use with one or more fluids is provided. The method includes obtaining fluid behavior of a fluid to be calculated for a given restrictor (114). Parameters for components used in the device (21), such as a processor (130), a restrictor (114) and one or more sensors (46, 48), are obtained to determine any needed corrections for calculations. The restrictor (114) and component parameters are processed with the fluid behavior data to determine operational parameters for the device (21). The operational data is downloaded into the device (21) to enable the processor (130) to monitor and control the flow of the fluid. A verification test may be performed to ensure that the device (21) is functioning correctly.
