The optimization of diagnostic equipment for reciprocating both internal and external combustion engines are deeply affected by suitability of simulation models. One of the most attractive and difficult diagnostic aspect deals with the fuel instantaneous mass flow rate measurement. A new model of the dynamic simulation of the Flo-Tron flowmeter, whose working principle is based on the hydraulic Wheatstone's bridge is then presented, dealing with the state space equations and bond-graph method.
