Abstract
A method and apparatus for measuring the flow rate of gases comprises the placing of a small radioactive source material in the path of the gas flow, establishing an electrical potential between one electrode and two other electrodes disposed transversely of the gas flow path from the first electrode and in the direction of gas flow from each other, and comparing the currents generated between the electrodes as a function of the rate of gas flow.
