Abstract
A disposable flow cell for use in a thermal pulse flow meter of the type that incorporates a pulse heated thermal probe and a detecting thermal probe. The disposable cell has two side ports covered with a stretchable film barrier. The thermal probes extend into the flow cell through the ports stretching the barrier ahead of them so that the probes can transmit and then detect thermal pulses to a fluid flowing through the flow cell while at the same time maintaining isolation between the probes and the fluid. The invention is also a thermal pulse flow meter incorporating the above cell.
