Abstract: A non-vertical flow meter is provided that includes a chamber comprising an inlet and an outlet, wherein the chamber, the inlet and the outlet are disposed at a non-vertical angle. The non-vertical flow meter also includes a pivoting sensing surface and a load cell. The pivoting sensing surface disposed on an interior surface of the chamber, and the load cell is in operational communication with the pivoting sensing surface and arranged to sense pressure applied to the pivoting sensing surface and output a signal proportional to a flow rate of a material flowing within the chamber.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a flow meter for flowable material configured to be used in non-vertical orientations.

Abstract: The Application discloses an in-line, high capacity apparatus and method for measuring a flowable component, such as seed, grain or other material. The apparatus and method generally function by measuring the pressure applied to a rounded cap by the flowing material. In certain embodiments, the apparatus and method comprise a housing containing a sensing unit, with the housing further comprising a rounded cap in mechanical communication with a load cell. In certain exemplary embodiments, the apparatus and method also comprise a processor, wherein the sensing unit is in communication with the processor so as to measure the flow rate of material passed through the housing by measuring the pressure of the material on the rounded cap. In certain embodiments, the apparatus and method allow the user to regulate the flow rate.
