Abstract:
A fluid flow transducer module comprising:a first fluid flow conduit having an inlet for receiving fluid from a fluid discharging apparatus; a transducer associated with said conduit for measuring rate of flow of the fluid through said conduit; an interface in communication with said transducer and adapted to receive rate of flow measurements from said transducer and to effect at least one-of (i) a display of measurements to an operator, (ii) a remote monitoring of measurements, and (iii) a corrective signal for modifying the rate of flow; said fluid flow conduit having an outlet for flowing the fluid from downstream of said transducer to a reservoir for the fluid, the outlet extending transversely of said conduit; a housing for said conduit, the conduit inlet, the conduit outlet, and said transducer, said housing having opposed first and second walls, each of the walls having an opening for the outlet therein; and at least one of the walls being adapted for stacking engagement with a second transducer module of a substantially same structure, such that the outlets of the modules are aligned to form portions of a common outlet conduit.
