1. A fluid handling device comprising:
- a body portion defining a flow passage and an impulse chamber extending from the flow passage and being fluidly coupled therewith, the impulse chamber having a pair of opposing ends defining a length dimension therebetween and further presenting a diameter dimension transverse to the length dimension, wherein the length dimension is at least 3 times and not greater than 10 times the diameter dimension; and
;
at least one sensor operably coupled with the body portion, the sensor disposed proximate the end of the impulse chamber opposite the flow passage and presenting a sensing face facing into the impulse chamber.

Abstract
A fluid handling device includes a body portion defining a flow passage and an impulse chamber extending from the flow passage. The impulse chamber is fluidly coupled with the flow passage and has a pair of opposing ends defining a length dimension therebetween. The impulse chamber further presents a diameter dimension transverse to the length dimension, wherein the length dimension is at least 3 times and not greater than 10 times the diameter dimension. The device further includes at least one sensor operably coupled with the body portion. The sensor is disposed proximate the end of the impulse chamber opposite the flow passage and presents a sensing face facing into the impulse chamber.
