ABSTRACT:
A portable flow meter for measuring the flush volume of a toilet by measuring the volume of water passing through the siphon of the toilet, and for measuring fluid flow through toilet openings of varying sizes. The flow meter has a flow tube with a fluid passageway provided therethrough, and a resilient compressible gasket is mounted on the flow tube to prevent fluid from circumventing the fluid passageway. A rotor is disposed within the fluid passageway for rotation by fluid passing therethrough, and means are provided for counting the rotations of the rotor and generating an output representative of the volume or flow rate of fluid passing through the fluid passageway. A handle extends upwardly from the flow tube, and a digital display is provided on the handle for displaying the output.
