Summary:Describes a prototype thermoelectric sensor system which makes use of the Peltier EMF in an array of thermocouples to sense properties of flowing fluids. The sensor is made of a thin continuous metallic strip of low conductivity, covered at regular intervals with numerous highly conducting electroplated patches of copper. Experimental tests show that temperature-compensated sensors based on the Peltier effect are sensitive devices, convenient for measuring low fluid flows independently of pressure and temperature changes.
