Three principles of air-flow measurement

The measurement of air-flow is based on three principles of operation: thermoelectric, vane (propeller) and differential pressure. These three principles are the most frequently used for the measurement of air-flow.  Schiltknecht Messtechnik AG played an important part in the development and the diffusion of these measurement principles.
