2. Residential water use in the U.S. and Canada - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_water_use_in...

   Examples include a showerhead with flow rate of 1.75 gpm (6.61 lpm) at high water pressure and 1.45 gpm (5.48 lpm) at low pressure, or a showerhead with three pressure compensated flow rates (by non-removable pressure compensator) with options of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 gpm (1.9, 3.8, 5.7 lpm).

3. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   This depth is converted to a flow rate according to a theoretical formula of the form = where is the flow rate, is a constant, is the water level, and is an exponent which varies with the device used; or it is converted according to empirically derived level/flow data points (a "flow curve"). The flow rate can then be integrated over time into ...

4. 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 ...

5. Thermal mass flow meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass_flow_meter

   Many mass flow controllers (MFC) which combine a mass flow meter, electronics and a valve are based on this design. Furthermore, a thermal mass flow meter can be built by measuring temperature differential across a silicon-based MEMS chip. Both types measure fluid mass flow rate by means of the heat convected from a heated surface to the ...

6. Turndown ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown_ratio

   The examples are here for gas flow, but the same meter types can be used on liquids as well, with similar turndown ratios. Note that meter manufacturers state their products' turndown ratios—a specific product may have a turndown ratio that varies from the list below. [citation needed] A thermal mass flow meter has a turndown ratio of 1000:1.

7. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

   Only the upstream depth needs to be measured to calculate the flow rate. A free flow also induces a hydraulic jump downstream of the flume. Submerged flow occurs when the water surface downstream of the flume is high enough to restrict flow through a flume, submerged flume conditions exist. A backwater buildup effect occurs in a submerged flume.
