ABSTRACT:
A flow meter, for measuring fluid flow rates, having a housing through which the fluid flows and is caused to impinge on an impeller or rotor for rotating the impeller at a rotational velocity representative of the fluid flow rate. The impeller or rotor has a plurality of teeth on which a light beam is reflected. A photosensitive device receiving the reflected chopped light produces at its output a signal whose frequency is a function of the rotational velocity of the impeller.
