  • Patent number: 5016187
    Abstract: The present invention is a linearized flow meter apparatus. A turbine flow meter measures a liquid flow and a processor corrects measurement errors and provides an adjusted number of output pulses. The processor uses an endpoint displacement method to provide the corrected output pulse signals.
