Abstract
A fluid flow rate and density measuring apparatus is disclosed including a section of cylindrical conduit comprising a measurement section or housing for the flow sensor. The flow sensor housing is fixedly attached to a conduit at its distal ends allowing fluid to pass through the open ends of the sensor housing as fluid flows through the conduit. An elongated, streamlined, cylindrically symmetric structure is located within the housing with its longitudinal axis aligned along that of the housing thereby forcing fluid through the annular gap between the exterior of the elongated cylindrical structure and the interior wall of the sensor housing.
