Flow rate meter (MF)#
Block appearance in REPEAT VISION#
The Flow rate meter (MF) block allows you to measure the mass flow value in a multi-component hydraulic network. The sensor is ideal – the pressure and temperature of the medium passing through it do not change.
Note
One sensor can operate in several modes:
The sensor is connected in series to a multi-component hydraulic network;
The sign of the flows depends on the sensor connection:
when the flow is from the inlet port to the outlet port, the flow sign is positive;
from the output port to the input port - negative.
Hint
After adding the sensor to the circuit, use the appropriate switches to configure it, including the parameters to be measured.
