Abstract

A flowmeter includes a fluid collection chamber for receiving a fluid flow, an adjustable collection tube configured to receive a portion of the fluid flow to generate one or more first measured parameters of multiple measured parameters of the fluid flow, a sampling chamber configured to measure samples of the fluid flow to generate one or more second measured parameters of the multiple measured parameters of the fluid flow, and a control module in signal communication with the adjustable collection tube and the sampling chamber and including one or more processors by which the control module automatically performs certain operations. Such operations include determining multiple output parameters of the fluid flow based on the multiple measured parameters and multiple input parameters. Such operations further include controlling a size of the adjustable collection tube based on a property of the fluid flow.
