1.VENTURIMETER

*It is an instrument used to measure the rate of discharge in a pipeline. 

*Venturimeter works under the principle of Bernoulli's equation and Continuity equation.

*It consist of three parts 

         i)converging part

        ii)Diverging part

       iii)Throat

Types of Venturimeter

1.Horizontal Venturimeter

2.Vertical Venturimeter

3.Inclined Venturimeter

2.ORIFICE METER

*Orifice meter (or) orifice plate is a device employed for measuring the discharge of fluid through a pipe

3.PITOT TUBE

Pitot tube is one of the most accurate devices for velocity measurement. 

4.ROTOMETER

A rotameter is a device that measures the volumetric flow rate of fluid in a closed tube. It belongs to a class of meters called variable area meters, which measure flow rate by allowing the cross-sectional area the fluid travels through to vary, causing a measurable effect.

5.ELBOW METER

Pipe elbow used as a liquids flowmeter; flow rate is measured by determining the differential pressure developed betweenthe inner and outer radii of the bend by means of two pressure taps located midway on the bend.
