ABSTRACT:
A non-contaminating flow meter having an isolation member is disclosed. The flow meter includes two pressure sensor transducers, located on opposite sides of a restriction in a conduit. Each of pressure transducers is isolated by an isolation member from exposure to fluids flowing through the conduit. The flow meter may be positioned in-line within a fluid flow circuit carrying corrosive materials, wherein the square root of the difference in pressure between the two pressure sensors is calculated to thereby determine the rate of flow within the fluid flow conduit. The flow meter compensates for changes in temperature within the fluid flow circuit and further activates an alarm if the pressure or flow rate within the fluid flow conduit exceeds or falls below a threshold level. The flow meter of the present invention also avoids the introduction of particulate, unwanted ions, or vapors into the flow circuit.
