High Temperature Air Velocity measurement

[Dan Bookwalter N8DCJ]

Hi All

I am hoping someone here has some ideas for me on this one , I need to measure velocity of gas (in this case air) through a pipe , that's easy enough , however , the temperature of the gas ranges from 100C to about 1200C and from maybe 10 m/s up to ~120 m/s.

Any Ideas ?

No source but the ultrasoic flow meters use the speed of sound running forward and backwards and the difference tells the speed of the medium ( the gas).

I don't know if it will work for you, but I had good luck using a McCrometer V-Cone flow meter a few years ago. Give them a call and see if they can size one for you. You'll also need a differential pressure transducer and some math to get a good measurement.
