Abstract

A flowmeter for measuring small differential fluid flow rates, of dialysate input to and output from a dialyser, comprises two similar, rectangular section channels 11, 12 and a compensating or calibrating circuit eliminating the effects of variations in the channel heights or “diameters”. The channels are in a magnetic field H, so that the flow of dialysate generates an e.m.f. between electrodes 13 and 14 in the channels, which is representative of the differential flow rate. The compensating for channel height mismatch is effected by using a signal proportional to common mode flow rate from electrodes 15 and 16, which is amplified by a factor whose ratio to the differential flow rate signal amplification factor is proportional to channel height mismatch, and summing the two amplified signals. The common mode flow rate amplification factor is determinable by a calibration procedure. A suitable circuit is disclosed (Figs 6 and 7 not shown).
