Need volume flow meter for air

Need volume flow meter for air

Need volume flow meter for air

(OP)
I am doing a project for school that will measure the different properties of air going thru a reed valve that is on many two stroke snowmobile engines.  The thing that my prof and me are having problem doing is measuring the flow of the air.  We need a meter that we will be able to get the average velocity, volume, or mass flow rate.

Thanks,

TJ

RE: Need volume flow meter for air

Corriolis mass flow meters are your best bet. They come in smaller sizes (1/4"), accurate, can detect lower flows and rugged in construction. You will get density compensated volumetric flow and mass flow as well. But cost is high. What flowrates you anticipate?
