Compressed air flow measurement is about measuring the mass flow of gas. The thermal dispersion principle helps to measure the direct mass flow without being affected by changes in temperature and pressure. Below are some of the areas associated with the pharmaceutical industry where airflow measurement is important.
Hygienic flow measurement – Water is used for pharmaceutical needs like sterile purified water, water used in injections, inhalation, etc. The importance of cleanliness in these scenarios is extremely high; hence, non-intrusive flow meters are best suited. The advantage of non-intrusive meters is that cleanliness is least compromised as there is no contact; hence, chances of contamination are negligible.
Pill coating is another method in which the uncoated tablets or medicines are placed into drum-type equipment, where the coating is sprayed. Air is used to control the amount of coating applied; hence, regulating airflow is crucial for optimum controls. Pharmaceutical manufacturers need an accurate mechanism in place to control and measure the airflow during the pill coating process since the requirements can vary for each tablet. The overall process uses the flowmeter to measure the amount of air needed to control the liquid used for coating.
