Title: "Different flow applications require different devices and technologies"
There are various situations how and where to measure flow. The media (gas or liquid, harsh environments...), the dynamic range, the response time, life time requirements, only to name a few can vary in these situations.
For these different applications there is not one flow sensor, one device. But, there are a lot of different devices based on various technologies. Some of those different technologies are presented ranging from measuring with a sensorelement directly in liquids over measuring dynamic ranges from 0.001 m/s...100 m/s to measuring flow with living cells.
Advantages, disadvantages and histories of the development of these sensor devices are also adressed.
