Flowmeter
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005648
An instrument designed to measure the linear, nonlinear, mass, or volumetric flow rate of a fluid, such as a gas or liquid. It operates on principles like differential pressure, electromagnetic induction, or ultrasonic wave propagation. Common types include orifice plates, venturi meters, and turbine meters, each suited for different fluid properties and flow conditions.
