| Abstract: | Flow meters are a tool used to measure the volume of fluid that passes through a pipe
in a given amount of time. Industry uses these tools in a variety of applications to keep track
of their systems and to measure the volume of material that they are using. Presently, digital
flow meters on the market command high prices, sometimes reaching several thousand
dollars. Inexpensive alternatives to these flow meters do not provide a high level of
accuracy. Our objective is to design a cost effective digital flow meter capable of taking
readings over a wide range of flows. This meter will use piezoresistive technology with a
microprocessor and electronic filtration to convert pressure input into a digitally displayed
electronic readout. This flow meter will also have an analog output to interface with a
computer for data logging. |
