The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) provides mass flow meter calibrations that verify and adjust the accuracy of mass flow meters.
What are Mass Flow Meters, and What is Mass Flow Rate?
A mass flow meter is an device that measures the flow rate of a gas or fluid traveling through a tube or pipe. A mass flow rate measures the rate at which mass flows through a device over a specific unit of time. Mass flow meters are commonly used to control or monitor mass-related processes such as chemical reactions. For example, a manufacturing plant may require precise measurements and control over the presence of certain ingredients or chemicals, so the plant operators may use a mass flow meter to ensure they achieve the desired balance.
Our Flow Meter Calibration Services
Our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs provide mass flow meter calibrations for various types of flow meters. Our calibration services support numerous industries as we provide specialized and traditional testing capabilities.
Air Flow Meter Calibration Capabilities
- Maximum Mass Flow Rate: 12,800 SCFM (16 lbm/sec)
- Maximum MUT pressure: 135 pound-force per square inch
- Minimum Mass Flow Rate: 0.0002 lbm/sec (.2 SCFM)
Water Flow Meter Calibrations
- Maximum pressure: 44 pound-force per square inch

The Importance of Flow Meter Calibrations
Flow meter calibrations are critical as they ensure the accuracy and reliability of mass flow meters. Over time, various factors such as repeated use, environmental conditions, and age can impact a mass flow meter’s reliability, so these devices require calibration regularly. Mass flow meter calibrations help manufacturers do the following:
- Adhere to Standards and Regulations
- Avoid Unnecessary Expenses from Inefficient Practices
- Ensure Accurate Manufacturing Process
- Optimize Industrial Processes
