ABSTRACT:
A simple device for measuring flow rate of liquid in a partially-full pipe. This device comprises a generally vertical, first chamber into which liquid is introduced, a non-opaque, second generally vertical chamber in communication with the lower portion of the first chamber, an orifice communicating with the lower portion of the first and second chambers, an overflow leg and an outlet for liquid passing through the orifice or overflow. The height of liquid in the second chamber provides a visible indication of the flow rate.
