Venturi meter flow measurement.
The propeller speed is proportional to the fluid velocity. Because of
hysteresis and friction in the gear train, the accuracy of measurement
will vary in a nonlinear way and must be corrected for. The rotating-
vane anemometer, used for measuring airflow, is also a turbine type
of meter.
The
paddle wheel
type meter is turned by the flowing fluid, with
speed being proportional to velocity. This device is connected magnet-
ically to the measuring mechanism and is accurate over a wide range
of flow.
There are other ways of sensing flow rates, but those described
above are representative of HVAC use. Note that all the modulating
sensors may also be used for two-position flow detection.
