Abstract
In the disclosed apparatus, flow of fluid in a pipe is sensed by directing acoustic signals at a fluid-metering rotor in the pipe. One or more transducers are used for emitting an acoustic signal and receiving acoustic reflections. A flow-representing signal is derived that varies with the attitude of the rotor in relation to the transducer(s).
