Types of Flow Meters


The main types of flow meters include positive displacement, mass, differential pressure, velocity, optical, and open channel flow meters.


 

Positive Displacement Flow Meters


These meters measure fluid flow by trapping fluid in a chamber and are robust against turbulence.
