Abstract
Fluid flow apparatus, such as a fluid flow meter, a fluid mixing device or a fluid dispersing device, includes a fluid displacement member removeably mounted in a conduit and a pipe or tube extending through the wall of the conduit and having a portion extending through the displacement member to its downstream face for sensing flow conditions at the axis of the conduit downstream of the displacement member. The displacement member is removeably and replaceably mounted on the pipe or tube so that one displacement member can be replaced by one or more displacement members and thereby accommodate a very broad range of flows of various fluids, fluid suspensions and slurries.
