Wheatstone Bridge Flow Meter
Wheatstone Bridge Flow Meter
(OP)
Hi,
I'm just doing my thesis and was having trouble finding out information on the above mas flow meter.
If anyone could point me in the right direction of where I could find some info, that would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Tim
PS Thanks in advance

RE: Wheatstone Bridge Flow Meter
However I think if your reference is to measure flow of air, I think the reference may be to a hot wire anamomenter. This is where a hot device is cooled by the air flow. The difference in resistance due to different cooling rates is calibrated to result in an air flow measurement.

RE: Wheatstone Bridge Flow Meter
Thank you for your reply,
The Wheatstone Bridge is the name given to the configuration of 4 orifice plates with the pump source in the centre. Very much in the vane of the resistance circuit that you refer to, or the more commonly known Wheatstone Bridge. Except where the orifice plates replace the resistors and the pump the power source.
In the particular application that I am looking at is the measurement of water.
At pressent I have very limited information, apart from the basic configuration. I am finding it extremely hard to find any more. Whether that be throught the Web, libraries or Discussion boards.
I hope that this makes my problem a little clearer.

Tim
