Abstract:
1. A fluid flow monitoring and evaluation system suitable for measuring low volume, high pressure fluid flow, comprising: one or more fluid flow dispensing valves operated by the pressure of the fluid being dispensed, the one or more fluid flow dispensing valves being at a first site; one or more fluid flow sensors, each associated with one oft, he one or more fluid flow dispensing valves for measuring the fluid flow through the corresponding dispensing valve; and one or more fluid flow monitors, each including a microprocessor programmed to accept cycle signals from one or more of the fluid flow sensors, one or more of the fluid flow monitors including a communications link for sending fluid flow information corresponding to the fluid flow through the one or more dispensing valves to a computer at a second site, remote from the first site, the computer programmed to provide the fluid flow information over the Internet to a user at a third site, the communications link including a radio transmitter for transmitting to an earth-orbiting satellite.
