The flue gas parameter monitoring system includes measurements of flue gas velocity, flue gas static pressure, flue gas temperature, and flue gas humidity. The flue gas velocity and flue gas pressure are simultaneously measured using a differential pressure transmitter, and the flue gas velocity is derived by measuring both the total pressure and the static pressure of the flue gas flow. The pressure sensor used for measuring flue gas velocity and flow typically employs a 差圧センサー based on the pitot tube principle, and it is paired with an atmospheric pressure sensor to perform atmospheric data compensation.

The key to flue gas monitoring: static and dynamic pressure
In flue gas monitoring systems, flue gas flow rate and pressure measurements are usually performed using differential pressure sensors. Two basic concepts are involved here:
- Static pressure (P): the actual pressure in the flowing flue gas, a value measured by the Pitot tube static pressure orifice.
- Total pressure (P₀): the pressure when the flow rate drops to zero, a value captured by the Pitot tube total pressure orifice.
The difference between the two is the dynamic pressure, which is the basis for revealing the mysteries of fluid mechanics through Bernoulli’s equation:
- The difference between the total pressure and the static pressure, i.e. the dynamic pressure, is proportional to the square of the flue gas flow rate.
This set of principles provides the theoretical basis for the actual measurement of flue gas flow rates and is the first step in our understanding of sensor selection.
Differential pressure sensors and the Pitot tube principle
Measurement of flue gas flow rates often relies on the Pitot tube principle. This is done by:
- The total and static pressure data are measured using a Pitot tube;
- Differential pressure sensors capture the difference between the two in real time;
- Compensation by an air pressure sensor ensures that the data is not distorted by environmental changes.
This combination ensures that in practice, no matter how complex the environment is, highly accurate monitoring can be achieved.
