Boats and such sometimes have fuel flow meters that you may be able to
use.

Though I would think setting up a gauge in your tank might be cheaper.
May not give you the instantaneous rate of flow but will let you know
how much oil is being used.

Conversation: [EE] how to measure oil flow
Subject: [EE] how to measure oil flow


hello,

I want to know how much oil goes for my house heating.
Oil flows via 10mm pipe from tank to burner (burner 'sucks' oil from
tank).

Searching the net, I found Swissflow's SF800, which converts fluid flow
to TTL level signal.

Maybe someone has experience in measuring fluid flow? Any comments on
that topic? Any alternatives to SF800?

thanks,
Aadu Adok
