Target Flow Meters

An introduction to the target flow meters principles

With the target meter a physical target is located directly in the fluid flow.

target flow meter

The deflection of the target and the force bar is measured in the instrument.

The force on the target can be expressed as

F = cd ρ v2 At / 2 (1)

where

F = force on the target (N)

cd = overall drag coefficient obtained from empirical data

ρ = density of fluid (kg/m3)

v = fluid velocity (m/s)

At = target area (m2)
