    8. Fluid flow sensors and meters

    The measurement principles are as follows:

    • differential pressure flowmeters or flowmeters with depressurizing elements (figure 26 ): these systems are standardized;

    • Pitot probe flow measurement (figure 27 );

    • turbine flowmeter (figure 28 );

    • paddle-wheel flowmeter (figure 29 ), with external displacement measurement;

    • vortex flowmeter (figure
