ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic flow sensor situated transversely in a conduit wherein two fiber optic cables are enclosed with a holding mechanism or tube. The fiber optic cables are axially aligned but separated by a gap. Fluid flow in the conduit produces a deflection in the tube and attenuation of light transmitted from one fiber to the other which is proportional to the flow rate.
