2. Current meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_meter

   Mechanical current meters are mostly based on counting the rotations of a propeller and are thus rotor current meters. A mid-20th-century realization is the Ekman current meter which drops balls into a container to count the number of rotations.

3. Water metering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

   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 (single-jet and multi-jet), turbine meters, propeller meters and mag ...

4. Miner's inch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miner's_inch

   The miner's inch is a method of measuring the amount of flow a particular water supply system (such as a flume or sluice) is capable of supplying. The miner’s inch measures the amount of water that would flow through a slot of a given area at a given pressure (for example, at a head of 6 inches of water, or 1.5 kPa.) In miner's inch the word ...

5. Axial-flow pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial-flow_pump

   An axial-flow pump for industrial use. An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe.The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.

6. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

   Using the Parshall flume flow equations and Tables 1-3, determine the flow type (free flow or submerged flow) and discharge for a 36-inch flume with an upstream depth, Ha of 1.5 ft and a downstream depth, H b of 1.4 ft. For reference of locations H a and H b, refer to Figure 1.

7. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   Because they are used for domestic water measurement, piston meters, also known as rotary piston or semi-positive displacement meters, are the most common flow measurement devices in the UK and are used for almost all meter sizes up to and including 40 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a ...
