At the same time, pressure and temperature detection devices are separately installed on the pipeline, and the pressure and temperature signals are connected to the integrator or PLC through the transmitter for flow compensation measurement. Finally, the data is uploaded through a data acquisition device. The other is an integrated type, where the differential pressure transmitter and the pressure transmitter are installed on the differential pressure detection element, and there is no need for pressure guiding pipes to introduce pressure. At the same time, the temperature detection is built into the primary detection element, and then the differential pressure, pressure, and temperature signals are connected to a flow integrator or PLC for flow calculation.
