	What do you want to measure? Pressure Flow rate Temperature Chemical composition Refractive index ... ? Please be more specific. __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	It would be interesting to know if there is a method/process to measure flowrate and pressure from outside.

	Can ultrasonic flowmeters be used to measure gas flow? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_flow_meter The first sentence reads: "An ultrasonic flow meter* measures the velocity of a liquid or gas through a pipe using ultrasonic transducers."* _{^{I realize one shouldn't take everything in Wikipedia as gospel, but I think (hope?) this one's correct .}} __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	It may be easier to monitor compressor power and pressure and estimate the flow with your compressors performance specifications or you can use generic ones. I have not had very good luck getting accurate results with ultrasonic flowmeters.
