Abstract: A flow transmitter for monitoring pulsating liquid flow rates, such as intermittent or cyclic impulsion produced by reciprocating pumps, employs a short stroke, variable area flowmeter having an armature core mounted in the flowmeter stem. As the stem rises and falls with flow, the armature moves within a linear variable differential transformer coil to produce an A. C. voltage following core deflection. This A. C. deflection signal is converted to a milliampere D. C. signal by means of a demodulator which through a long-time constant RC filter network averages the pulsed flow variations to provide a continuous non-inferential measurement proportional to flow.
