2. Custody transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custody_transfer

   The rotor spins in proportion to flow rate (see turbine meters) . There are many types of turbine meters, but many of those used for gas flow are called axial meters. [8] The turbine flowmeter is most useful when measuring clean, steady, high-speed flow of low-viscosity fluids.

3. Gas meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_meter

   A gas meter is a specialized flow meter, used to measure the volume of fuel gases such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Gas meters are used at residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that consume fuel gas supplied by a gas utility. Gases are more difficult to measure than liquids, because measured volumes are highly ...

4. Mass flow meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_meter

   The mass flow rate is the mass of the fluid traveling past a fixed point per unit time. The mass flow meter does not measure the volume per unit time (e.g. cubic meters per second) passing through the device; it measures the mass per unit time (e.g. kilograms per second) flowing through the device. Volumetric flow rate is the mass flow rate ...

5. Positive displacement meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_displacement_meter

   A positive displacement meter is a type of flow meter that requires fluid to mechanically displace components in the meter in order for flow measurement. Positive displacement (PD) flow meters measure the volumetric flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes (finite increments or volumes of the fluid).

6. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   Turbine meters are less accurate than displacement and jet meters at low flow rates, but the measuring element does not occupy or severely restrict the entire path of flow. The flow direction is generally straight through the meter, allowing for higher flow rates and less pressure loss than displacement-type meters.

7. Utility meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_meter

   Gas meter, a specialized flow meter used to measure the volume of fuel gases such as natural gas and propane; Water meter, a device for measuring water usage; Heat meter, instruments intended for measuring the heat which, in a heat-exchange circuit, is given up by a liquid called the heat-conveying liquid.
