ABSTRACT:
A differential pressure flowmeter comprises a tube having a circular section, a first pressure sensor for measuring a pressure of a liquid flowing into the tube, a second pressure sensor for measuring a pressure of a liquid flowing out of the tube, a storage part for storing information and an operation part for performing various computations. In the differential pressure flowmeter, a laminar flow where a Reynolds number is less than or equal to 2000 is formed within the tube. Outputs from the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are transmitted to the operation part, a pressure difference between both ends of the tube is obtained, and then a flowrate of a liquid flowing through the tube is determined on the basis of the pressure difference and flowrate information stored in the storage part in advance. In the differential pressure flowmeter, after the flow is made laminar completely, the pressure difference is obtained and it is thereby possible to perform measurement of the flowrate stably with high accuracy.
