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,

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?
