Water Flowmeters

A water meter is a device used to measure the volume of water.
Water meters are used to measure the volume of water used by residential and commercial buildings that are supplied with water by a public water supply system. Water meters can also be used at the water source, well, or throughout a water system to determine flow through that portion of the system. In most of the world water meters measure flow in Cubic metres (m3) or litres. Some electronic meter registers can display rate-of-flow in addition to total usage.
There are several types of water meter in common use. Selection is based on different flow measurement methods, the type of end user, the required flow rates, and accuracy requirements.

A velocity-type meter measures the velocity of flow through a meter of a known internal capacity. The speed of the flow can then be converted into volume of flow for usage. There are several types of meters that measure water flow velocity to determine totality usage. They include jet meters (single-jet and multi-jet), turbine meters, propeller meters, and mag meters. Most velocity-based meters have an adjustment vane for calibration of the meter to required accuracy.
