4.1.3 Principle of flow measurement
Flow in the flow channel is determinedbydifferential pressure measurement. To build
up differential pressure, a plastic screen is used to provide flow resistance.
ƞ: dynamic viscosity of the gas [Pa ∙ s]
ρ: gas density [kg/m

]
c1, c2: device-specific constants (channel geometry)
Dynamic viscosity
Theviscosity of a medium is its resistance tothe flow and shear of the current. Vis-
cosity is extremely dependent on temperature. Theviscosity of a medium isslightly
dependent on the pressure andmoisture content of the medium.
Density
Density is the unit for the mass per unit volume of the medium. Density is very de-
pendent on pressure and temperature.
The impact of ambient conditions is hence the reason why flow is occasionally con-
verted to standard conditions.
