Abstract
Methods of precisely regulating a process gas flow through a process chamber of an additive manufacturing system and related systems. The methods include positioning a removeable flow rate sensor to measure an actual bulk flow rate of the process gas flow and controlling the process gas flow to a desired bulk flow rate. The methods also include measuring the actual bulk flow rate with the removeable flow rate sensor, separating the removeable flow rate sensor from the process chamber, and comparing the actual bulk flow rate to the desired bulk flow rate. The methods further include proceeding with the additive manufacturing process or performing a corrective action and subsequently proceeding with the additive manufacturing process.
