Abstract

A fluid flow rate measurement device includes: a manifold element including a first fluid conduit extending from a surface thereof and terminating in a first port opening at a first lateral surface thereof and a second port opening at a second lateral surface thereof, and a second fluid conduit extending from a surface thereof and terminating in a third port opening at the first lateral surface and a fourth port opening at the second lateral surface; a fluid restriction element fixed to the first lateral surface and arranged to provide a sealed fluid pathway between the first port and the third port; and—a pressure sensor assembly fixed to the second lateral surface and including a first pressure sensor in fluidic communication with the second port, and a second pressure sensor in fluidic communication with the fourth port.
