  • High temperature mass flowmeter
    Patent number: 4475387
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided for measuring the flow of high temperature fluid through a main line. A shunt path diverts a portion of the fluid flowing in the main line. The shunt path is so designed as to thermally isolate a flowmeter positioned in the shunt path from the transfer of heat from the main line. The flowmeter produces an output signal. This signal, and one produced by a temperature sensor in the main line, are applied to a correction circuit which produces an output indicating the actual flow of fluid in the main line.
