Abstract :
This paper presents an innovative design and accurate approach to the measurement of flow rate for moderate flow applications. It also deduces linear relationship between flow rate and the change in resistance of the bend sensor used in the setup. The sensor apparatus is very simple to calibrate and install which is a fixed beam cantilever system with one moving end which would give a digital output. The displacement values of free end of the sensor are analysed using ANSYS Finite Element Analysis software.
