    摘要: An improved method and apparatus for measuring fluid flow and controlling fluid flow systems. The invention uses a magnetically responsive float normally resting in contact with a stop element positioned in the flow conduit, with magnetic means positioned upstream. The requisite increase of magnetic force to pull said float element from the stop element against the direction of fluid flow is related to the flow rate, thus serving to indicate same for metering or control purposes. Normally, the current to an electromagnet required to overcome the force of fluid flow is used as a measure of flow rate. This system can also be employed to determine fluid viscosity.

    摘要: THE PRESENT INVENTION DEALS WITH AN IMPROVED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING FLOW IN AN INTRAVENOUS FEEDING SYST EM OR OTHER FLUID FLOW SYSTEM CHARACTERIZED BY ITS LOW FLOW RATE. THE INVENTION UTILIZES THE TRANSIT TIME OR OSCILLATORY FREQUENCY OF A BALL OF FLOAT WHICH MOVES ALONG THE DIRECTION OF FLUID FLOW AND IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BY ACTUATING A MAGNETIC RETURN SYSTEM AS ITS BREAKS A LIGHT BEAM OR OTHER SENSING SYSTEM. THE CYCLE IS REPEATED, WITH THE TRANSIT TIME OR OSCILLATORY FREQUENCY BEING RELATED TO RATE OR FLUID FLOW, AND THUS SERVING TO INDICATE SAME FOR CONTROL PURPOSES. THE FLOW TUBE BALL MEASURING UNIT PREFERABLY TAKES THE FORM OF A DISPOSABLE AND PREFERABLY STERILE INSERT INTO AN INTERVENOUS FEEDING SYSTEM.
