121 Flow measurement device US44625 1987-05-01 US4790194A 1988-12-13 James C. Bellows; Michael Twerdochlib
Fluid flow is determined for a large flow pipe based upon differential pressure across an orifice in the pipe having a known cross-sectional area. In one form, the orifice is variable and adjusted in response to differential pressure so as to maintain differential pressure at a constant value. Flow is determined directly from orifice area. The orifice may be a part of a closed loop flow measurement system which responds to differential pressure changes to adjust orifice area. Various differential pressure settings may be used to accommodate selected back pressures in the flow pipe.
122 Flow sensor with extended low flow range US447509 1982-12-07 US4459860A 1984-07-17 Ronald B. Walters
In a flow sensing device in which flow is measured by the linear displacement of a moveable bobbin within a throat, the bobbin contains a cylinder and piston arrangement, with the piston linked to the same linear displacement sensing device as the bobbin. Fluid pressures upstream and downstream of a calibrated orifice parallel to the throat, is applied to opposite ends of the piston. Low flow rates are measured by the displacement of the piston, with movement of the bobbin together with the piston taking over the flow sensing function at higher flow rates.

136 Thermal flow sensor having an electromagnetic actuator for a cyclic flow modulator US13781916 2013-03-01 US08650946B1 2014-02-18 Murray F Feller
A thermal flow sensor is responsive only to a modulated component of the flow. At zero flow the modulated component disappears, except for an artifact caused by motion of the modulator. This artifact is minimized by reducing the extent of modulator motion and by sampling the modulated signal at a quiescent part of the modulator's operating cycle. This results in a thermal flow sensor with a very stable zero.
