  2. The Ford Meter Box Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ford_Meter_Box_Company

    After moving to Wabash, Ford Meter Box expanded its product offerings, and in 1916, Ford Meter Box received its first patent for the water meter test bench. [2] The firm also began manufacturing meter-setting products for a variety of installation settings. In the early 1960s, Ford Meter Box introduced the ball valve for waterworks applications ...

  3. Water metering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

    A velocity water meter Internal structure of a velocity water meter. A velocity-type meter measures the velocity of flow through a meter of known internal capacity. The speed of the flow can then be converted into a volume of flow to determine the usage. There are several types of meters that measure water flow velocity, including jet meters ...

  4. Ultrasonic flow meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_flow_meter

    Schematic view of a flow sensor. An ultrasonic flow meter is a type of flow meter that measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound to calculate volume flow. Using ultrasonic transducers, the flow meter can measure the average velocity along the path of an emitted beam of ultrasound, by averaging the difference in measured transit time between the pulses of ultrasound propagating into and ...

  5. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Velocity times the cross-sectional area yields a flow rate which can be integrated into volumetric flow. There are two types of area velocity flowmeter: (1) wetted; and (2) non-contact. Wetted area velocity sensors have to be typically mounted on the bottom of a channel or river and use Doppler to measure the velocity of the entrained particles.

  6. Acoustic Doppler current profiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_Current...

    This feature is referred to as bottom-track. The process has two parts; first identify the position of the bottom from the acoustic echo, then calculating the velocity from a window centered around the bottom position. When an ADCP is mounted on a moving ship, the bottom track velocity may be subtracted from the measured water velocity.

  7. Current meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_meter

    Travel time meters are generally more accurate than Doppler meters, but only record the velocity between the transducers. Doppler meters have the advantage that they can determine the water velocity at a considerable range, and in the case of an ADCP, at multiple ranges.

  8. Velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocimetry

    Velocimetry is the measurement of the velocity of fluids. This is a task often taken for granted, and involves far more complex processes than one might expect. It is often used to solve fluid dynamics problems, study fluid networks, in industrial and process control applications, as well as in the creation of new kinds of fluid flow sensors.

  9. Dashboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashboard

    Dashboard instruments displaying various car and engine conditions. Where the dashboard originally included an array of simple controls (e.g., the steering wheel) and instrumentation to show speed, fuel level and oil pressure, the modern dashboard may accommodate a broad array of gauges, and controls as well as information, climate control and entertainment systems.
