2. Air flow meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_flow_meter

   An air flow meter is a device similar to an anemometer that measures air flow, i.e. how much air is flowing through a tube. It does not measure the volume of the air passing through the tube, it measures the mass of air flowing through the device per unit time, though Thus air flow meters are simply an application of mass flow meters for the ...

3. Mass flow sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_sensor

   The MAF sensor provides the open-loop controller predicted air flow information (the measured air flow) to the ECU, and the oxygen sensor provides closed-loop feedback in order to make minor corrections to the predicted air mass. Also see manifold absolute pressure sensor . Since around 2012, some MAF sensors include a humidity sensor.

4. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   A Venturi meter constricts the flow in some fashion, and pressure sensors measure the differential pressure before and within the constriction. This method is widely used to measure flow rate in the transmission of gas through pipelines , and has been used since Roman Empire times.

5. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

   MAP sensors measure absolute pressure. Boost sensors or gauges measure the amount of pressure above a set absolute pressure. That set absolute pressure is usually 100 kPa. This is commonly referred to as gauge pressure. Boost pressure is relative to absolute pressure - as one increases or decreases, so does the other.

6. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   The shape of the sensor is important because it is calibrated to work in the direction of air flow as shown by the RED arrows. This is normal operation for the pressure sensor, providing a positive reading on the display of the digital pressure meter.

7. Mass flow controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_controller

   The flow rate is specified as a percentage of its calibrated full scale flow and is supplied to the MFC as a voltage signal. Mass flow controllers require the supply gas or liquid to be within a specific pressure range. Low pressure will starve the MFC of fluid and cause it to fail to achieve its setpoint. High pressure may cause erratic flow ...
