Abstract :
Design goals and reasons for the selection of a 60-cps square-wave electromagnetic blood flowmeter are presented. Detailed description of the flowmeter is given with emphasis on demodulator techniques. Complete performance data of step function response, stability, and performance with small and large flows are shown graphically. One application of the flowmeter and analog integrator is given showing response to a periodic hydraulic flow.
