Nope. All you have to know is how dry the steam is, what the temperature is, and what the total mass of the steam is. You can derive the steam flow rate from that.Right. But how do you get the total mass of the steam? Even in your interpretation of what information that device provides, it only gives mass per unit volume. So you need the volume to get the mass. To get the volume, you need the flow rate. Infinite loop. It's a rookie mistake, and you're a seasoned programmer.
I repeat: they measure the total mass, separately. They measure the weight of the water reservoir before and after the test. The mass of water is starting weight minus ending weight. The flow rate does not vary significantly with this kind of pump. If you want to know what it is, divide the mass by the duration of the test.
If the flow rate does change significantly, or if the machine starts putting out more power or less power, the RH meter will tell you. The temperature will change.
