2. Thermodynamic pump testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_pump_testing

   The thermodynamic method was developed in the early 1960s, and since has been increasingly used. It is described in high precision hydraulic testing standards such as ISO 5198. The thermodynamic method is used for performance testing of pumps, flow meter calibration, system curve tests, and other applications.

3. Metering pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metering_pump

   A metering pump moves a precise volume of liquid in a specified time period providing an accurate volumetric flow rate. [1] Delivery of fluids in precise adjustable flow rates is sometimes called metering. The term "metering pump" is based on the application or use rather than the exact kind of pump used, although a couple types of pumps are ...

4. 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.

5. 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 ...

6. Disc permeameter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_permeameter

   The disc permeameter is a field instrument used for measuring water infiltration in the soil, which is characterized by in situ saturated and unsaturated soil hydraulic properties. It is mainly used to provide estimates of the hydraulic conductivity of the soil near saturation.

7. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them.
