Although the amount of fuel consumed during a given flight may vary
slightly between engines of the same type, fuel flow does provide a
useful indication of the satisfactory operation of the engine and of
the amount of fuel being consumed during the flight. A typical system
consists of a fuel flow transmitter, which is fitted into the low
pressure fuel system, and an indicator, which shows the rate of fuel
flow and the total fuel used in gallons, pounds or kilogrammes per hour
(fig. 12-10). The transmitter measures the fuel flow electrically and an
associated electronic unit gives a signal to the indicator proportional
to the fuel flow.
