The movable tube mass flowmeter here reported consists of two movable tube flowmeters and two constant flow apparatus. This mass flowmeter has such a merit as the mass flow rates can be measured regardless of the viscosity of the fluid to be measured. This merit is very important because a change in density is frequently accompanied with a change in viscosity.
The present movable tube mass flowmeter may be classified into two types, namely, with and without a pressure compensator. By the latter, the mass flow rate is calculated from three measured values and by the former, from only one measured value.
The experimental results using trial mass flowmeters of both the above mentioned types, agree fairly well with theory.
