An engine’s fuel consumption is shown by a fuel flowmeter in real time. The pilot may find this helpful in determining engine performance and in making flight planning calculations.
The type of fuel flow metre used on an aeroplane mostly relies on the fuel system and motor being used.
The fact that the fuel mass varies with temperature or with the type of fuel used in turbine engines makes it difficult to measure fuel flow properly.
Systems for measuring fuel volume in light aeroplanes with reciprocating engines have been developed. A weight per volume assumption is used to determine the actual mass of gasoline flowing to the engine.
On horizontally opposed reciprocating engines with fuel injection systems installed, the most basic fuel flow sensing device is employed.
The pressure gauge is calibrated in either pounds per hour or gallons per hour. The pressure drop across the fuel injector orifices is directly related to the amount of fuel flowing through them.
Global aircraft fuel flow meter market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
With regard to certain motor-driven fuel flow metre products installed on different military engine derivatives, such as the F100 and F108 series, Ontic, a market-leading provider of “Extended Life Solutions” for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) legacy and non-core products, has entered into a new exclusive licence agreement with AMETEK Sensors and Fluid Management Systems.
The fuel flow metre products will be moved to Ontic’s Chatsworth, California, and Wilmington, Massachusetts, facilities from AMETEK’s and Reynosa, Mexico, respectively.
The Aviation Fuel Flow Meter from Fluidyne is the ideal tool for refuelling commercial aeroplanes.
Due to its oscillating piston mechanism, one of the most durable Positive Displacement mechanisms in use today, the flowmeter offers an extremely high accuracy of 0.1% of reading.
A positive displacement flow metre that separates a flow stream into distinct segments and measures each segment with an accuracy of 0.1% and repeatability of better than 0.1% of the actual measured value is required for measuring aviation fuel flow.
