Abstract
A device for measuring the mass flow rate, including a flow pipe; a first set of actuators which are arranged in a first plane including a first transverse cross section of the pipe and perpendicular to the fluid flow path, these being configured to move selectively in the first plane; a control circuit configured to control a movement of the first and second actuators so that the cross-sectional area for flow through the pipe in the first plane remains constant; a measurement sensor measuring a force or a stress in a direction perpendicular to the flow path, in the vicinity of the actuators of the first set along the flow path; a computation device configured to calculate the mass flow rate passing through the flow pipe as a function of the force or stress measured by the sensor.
