| coriolis mass flow meter | A mass flow meter that uses the Coriolis principle to measure a mass flow rate through the meter. |
| rotameter flow meter | A variable area flow meter which consists of a tapered tube of glass with a float inside that is pushed up by flow and pulled down by gravity. |
| turbine flow meter | A velocity flow meter that uses a multi bladed rotor to measure fluid flow rate in units of volumetric flow through a closed conduit. |
| ultrasonic flow meter | A velocity flow meter that measures the velocity of a flow by measuring the time difference between an ultrasonic pulse sent in the flow direction and an ultrasound pulse sent opposite the flow direction. |
| v-cone flow meter | A differential pressure flow meter that uses a v-cone as the restriction body in the flow stream. |
| vortex flow meter | A flow meter that measures the velocity of a fluid in a pipe by detecting the frequency of vortices being shed from a specially shaped obstructing element in the fluid stream. |
