Flow Indicator for Low Pressure
(OP)
I am looking for a flow indicator for a 12" pipe at low pressure (8" water column). It is a Biogas installation (65% Methane, 35% CO2)
Any Idea?

If your pipesize were smaller and you dont need a signal then a simple "floater type" would propably be the best?.
A pitot type (same principle as annubar). They are however sensitive to fouling. These can be made "yourself" and if you dont require a signal then they can be fitted with a waterfilled U tube. They must however be calibrated.
A simple turbine flow meter may also work?
Best regards

The flow pipe comes half way down, vertically into a larger chamber (acryllic tube as sight glass) It bubbles through water indicating flow.
