ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring fluid flow is characterized by compensating for temperature variations in the fluid level pressure transducer. The transducer is operated at a plurality of different combinations of pressure and temperature, and the drive and output voltages of the transducer are measured at each combination. A plurality of temperature coefficients are derived from the measured voltage and entered into a data logger for use in calculating flow.
