That is interesting. Ed Storms and Mike McKubre both used this style of mass-flow meter. This has some advantages over turbine types, calorimetric types (that heat the water) and others described here: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/flow-meters-d_493.html The direct mass flow ones are less likely to clog up, and they are accurate over a broad range of flow rates. - Jed
