Abstract
A method for measuring the flow rate of a fluid using a differential pressure sensor is presented. In this method, two pitot tubes are positioned within in flowing fluid, creating a pressure differential that is converted to a voltage by a differential pressure sensor. The voltage is transmitted to a programmable microcontroller for computation of flow rate based on a calibration procedure that was been used to determine the relationship between voltage and flow rate. The microcontroller may also be used to correct for temperature variations, store fluid flow rates, calculate the total volume of fluid that has passed, transmit data, display data, modify the fluid flow, or automatically run a calibration routine.
