A positive displacement flow measurement device includes a rotor portion positioned inside a casing portion to act as a least area rotor that captures a volume of material and moves the volume of material along the length of the device. The device is coupled to a means for counting the number of revolutions of the rotor portion and/or the casing portion over a predetermined period of time. In one embodiment, the counting means comprises a shaft encoder that measures the angular position of a shaft of the rotor portion and sends a signal to a processor of a computing device that determines the volume of material flowing through the device.
