- Description
- Mass flow meters are the most prevalent method used to accurately measure gas flow rate. However, mass flow meters must be calibrated separately for each gas or gas mixture in order to be useful. The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed a simple economical new gas flow meter that overcomes these problems. The gas flow meter can measure the flow rate of mixed gases, pure gases, and gas systems. The device has been tested to give accurate values for flow rates as low as 5 mL/min. The device is capable of accurately measuring the flow rate of any gas or gas mixture without the need for calibration for each gas, which is especially useful in situations where the composition of the flowing gas changes over time. The device can also measure different flow rates ? from very low flow rates to very high flow rates. The INL is soliciting interest from qualified industrial firms interested in participating in projects and/or commercializing this technology. It is anticipated that commercialization will be carried out by licensing this technology to a company. Additional development and support may be possible through Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with some or all of the funding support being provided by the participant(s). The INL has a patent pending on the method and device. The INL invites interested parties to contact us regarding the details of licensing and implementing this technology into an operation. Interested parties should respond on or before September 30, 2005. For questions regarding the technology, licensing, and working with the INL, please contact Jason Stolworthy: BUSINESS POINT OF CONTACT: Jason C. Stolworthy, J.D., M.S. (ChE) Telephone: 208-526-5976 E-Mail: Jason.Stolworthy@inl.gov
