tracer gas meter
Quick Summary
A tracer gas meter is a device used to measure the flow rate of a gas by introducing a radioactive material into the gas stream and timing its passage between two detectors. This method allows for the tracking of gas movement and distribution within a system. Tracer technology, particularly using isotopic tracers, has become highly effective in scientific studies due to the sensitivity of modern detection methods.12
