Abstract
A fluid flow meter. It employs measurements related to centrifugal flow of the fluids therethrough. There is a complete loop and means for measuring the differential pressure of the fluid in the loop between the inside and outside of the fluid stream near the middle of the loop. Also there is means for measuring the density of the fluid flowing through the loop. By correlating the results, the rate of fluid flow through the meter may be measured.
