ABSTRACT:
An automatic flow measuring device is used in an industry where accuracy in dispensing of liquid is necessary. It is fully automatic in nature and is used with a PLC (programmable logic controller) to give the system intelligence and reporting capability. The automatic flow measuring device for measuring fluid flow includes an automatically operated valve, a tee connector operatively coupled to the automatically operated valve, an elongated member defining a measuring chamber coupled to the tee connector, at least a first fluid level sensor mounted on the elongated member at a first position thereon and a second fluid level sensor mounted on the elongated member at a second position thereon. The first and second sensors are preferably electronic and send signals to the PLC which opens and closes the automatically operated valve.
