A measuring device with at least one fluid channel for conveying a measuring fluid, wherein the fluid channel includes at least one inlet for the entry of the measuring fluid into the fluid channel and at least one outlet for the exit of the measuring fluid from the fluid channel. The fluid channel includes a diamond-shaped cross-section and includes a course from the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet over which the measuring fluid entering the fluid channel is deflected by at least 90° before the measuring fluid exits the fluid channel at the at least one outlet.

A system and method for measuring a speed of an engine are provided. The engine has a positive displacement pump drivingly connected to a rotor shaft thereof, the pump having an inlet for receiving a fluid supply and an outlet for outputting pressurized fluid. A sensor signal is received from a pressure sensing device provided at an inlet of the pump, the sensor signal comprising a series of periodic oscillations. A frequency of the oscillations is determined, the frequency proportional to a rotational speed of the rotor shaft. The speed of the engine is then determined from the frequency of the oscillations and the speed of the engine as determined is output for controlling operation of the engine.

A pump health assessment system and a method for providing a pump health of a pump is disclosed. The method includes: determining that there is an imbalance in the pump; increasing pump flow from the pump; measuring a rail pressure of a fuel rail; determining if the rail pressure is substantially equal to an expected rail pressure profile; and in accordance with a determination that the rail pressure is not substantially equal to the rail pressure profile, outputting an indication of pump damage.

A resonant sensor probe assembly includes a substrate formed from one or more dielectric materials and free-standing electrodes coupled with the substrate. The free-standing electrodes are configured to be placed into the fluid and to generate an electric field between the free-standing electrodes. A controller measures an impedance response of the sensor to the fluid between the electrodes to determine an aging effect of the sensor.
