  • Patent number: 4093871
    Abstract: A correction circuit for correcting the frequency of the output pulses produced by a gas flowmeter in dependence on the temperature of the gas comprises a control input for receiving a voltage representative of the difference between the temperature of the gas and a reference temperature. A voltage-controlled oscillator, operative during fixed short periods initiated by each flowmeter pulse, produces auxiliary pulses at a rate dependent on the voltage at the control input, and the auxiliary pulses are counted in a counter. Each time the counter counts a predetermined number of auxiliary pulses, it produces a signal which either blocks one flowmeter pulse or adds an additional pulse to the flowmeter pulses, in dependence on the polarity of the temperature difference.
