This document discusses several types of flow rate measurement devices including differential pressure, variable area, and velocity type flow meters as well as thermal mass flow meters. Differential pressure type flow meters measure the pressure drop across an obstruction in the flow path, variable area flow meters have a movable obstruction to vary the flow area, and velocity type flow meters measure the velocity of flow. Thermal mass flow meters operate by heating the flowing fluid and measuring heat transfer properties.
