An experimental study of Incompressible time based mass flow controller

The objective of this research is to design, manufacture and test a mass flow controller capable of measuring compressible as well as incompressible fluid flows based on a 'bucket and stop-watch' method. The basic principle behind such a system is the measurement of time, where the time taken to fill and empty a bucket of known volume is measured. This device should be able to handle fluid flows in the range of 0.1 ml/min to 10 ml/min within an accuracy of ${\pm}$1%. For the flow meter to be able to compete with established designs, it must be not only comparable in cost and robustness, but also very accurate and reliable as well.
