A thermal mass flow meter is an instrument commonly used to measure the flow rate of gases by utilizing principles of heat transfer, providing high accuracy even at low flow conditions. It functionally distinguishes itself by directly measuring mass flow as opposed to volumetric flow, which is particularly useful in industrial settings where the density, pressure, or temperature of the gas can vary.

Volumetric flow is the quantity of three-dimensional space a fluid occupies as it moves over time, typically measured in cubic meters per second or gallons per minute. It is crucial in understanding fluid dynamics and is applicable in various fields such as engineering, environmental studies, and medical science to ensure efficient system designs and operations.
