How to measure the volume of poured liquid?
Good evening.
Faced with the need to accurately measure the volume of pumped fluid.
There are 2 pumps, it is not possible to calibrate them in terms of volume per second.
Gasoline goes one way, oil goes the other way. volumes are small. 2-150gr.
Flow sensor - I think it will not work = aggressive environment.
At the moment I'm using Chinese scales connected to arduino through an amplifier.
I want to get rid of weights. Help me please.

With such volumes, scales are perhaps the best option. Other options are either a dosing pump (again, you still need to look for such small volumes of portions), or a measuring container and count how many times it has been filled / emptied ...
Flow sensor - I think it will not work = aggressive environment.
If all this goes into some kind of container - a level sensor. There are probably flow meters for fuel and lubricants, but I'm not sure what they are for such volumes.
The cheapest option is a measuring container with an optical filling sensor and an emptying valve, but it will only work in bench conditions (suitable for calibration).
you can assemble a peristaltic flow meter (peristaltic pump without a drive, but with a revolution counter).
