Fleisch Pneumotachometer Operation & Biomedical Application
Fleisch Pneumotachometer is one of the most common types of airflow transducers. It consists of a straight short-tube with a fixed screen obstruction in the middle that produces a slight pressure drop as the air is passed through the tube. The pressure drop created across the screen is measured by a differential pressure transducer. The…

Functions & Types of Pneumotachometers for Biomedical Measurements
Pneumotachometers are instruments that measure the instantaneous rate of volume flow of respired gases. They can be broadly classified into two types based on the principle of operation: The pneumotachometer is normally used to measure parameters relating to pulmonary function such as forced expiratory volume (FEV), maximum mid-expiratory volume, & peak flow and to generate…
