2. Strong anti-interference ability Because its working principle is based on mechanical measurement, the target flow controller has strong adaptability to changes in environmental factors such as temperature and pressure.
   
3. Simple structure, easy maintenance Compared with other types of flow controllers, target flow controllers have a relatively simple structure, low failure rate, and lower maintenance costs.
   
4. Wide range of applications Whether it is liquid or gas, target flow controllers can provide reliable measurement results, which gives them broad potential in various applications in the aerospace field.
