Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method fluid flow measurements which include a pressure transducer and a flexible tube. The pressure transducer is tuned to measure flow speeds having a Reynolds number less than 100 and include an inlet. The flexible tube has a first end fluidly coupled to the inlet and a second end positioned adjacent to and in fluid communication with a plurality of fluid outlets of a microchannel flow structure. Each of the plurality of fluid outlets has a cross section defining an outlet area. The second end has a cross section defining a flexible tube area that is larger than the outlet area.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for measuring fluid flow across a pump used in a system for precisely and accurately metering fluid. The systems, devices, and methods can use contactless approaches to measure the properties of the fluid being pumped. The measured properties can be used to precisely and accurately determine the flow rate through the pump.

A gas inspection method includes: inputting a signal for opening a secondary valve; measuring, by a secondary pressure gauge, a pressure P on a downstream side of an orifice of a flow rate controller at a time point when a period t elapses from the input of the signal for opening the secondary valve; measuring, by the secondary pressure gauge, a standard deviation σ of the pressure P on the downstream side of the orifice of the flow rate controller at the time point when the period t elapses from the input of the signal for opening the secondary valve; and determining whether or not an open degree of the secondary valve is normal by comparing the pressure P and the standard deviation σ of the pressure P with a threshold value P0 of the pressure and a threshold value σ0 of the standard deviation of the pressure.
