flowmeter
Measures liquid passage
A flowmeter is a device that measures the rate at which a liquid or gas moves through a pipe or channel.
Flowmeters are essential in industrial processes, utilities, and medical equipment: The flowmeter showed a drop in pressure.
Types include turbine, ultrasonic, and magnetic flowmeters, each suited to different fluids and applications.
