What is Micro-Flow?
Common flow is a MACRO (or average) phenomena. Micro-flow is the part of fluid dynamics where the flow is significantly influenced by the molecule transport phenomenon. This typical occurs in flow through micro-channels (like leak flow) or very low flow at vacuum conditions. ATC’s micro-flow sensors are the only existing sensors designed and operating in those micro-flow regimes. Micro-flow sensors’ calibration and operational methods are based on the laws of micro-fluid dynamics.
