Abstract

The present application provides apparatus and a method for characterising the flow of fluid through a pipe (7). The application provides a flow-rate meter (50) suitable for measuring very low flow-rates within a pipe (7). The flow-rate meter (50) is suitable for use with a saddle member (2) and may be inserted into a pipe (7) through a side-wall of the pipe. The application also provides a method for monitoring the volumetric flow through a pipe (7) that may use the flow-rate meter (50). An apparatus for monitoring the volumetric flow-rate through a pipe (7) including the flow-rate meter (50) is also provided.
