flow·me·ter (fl  m  -t r)n. An instrument for monitoring, measuring, or recording the rate of flow, pressure, or discharge of liquids or gases. |
flowmeter,
a device that regulates and measures the flow of a fluid or gas. In an anesthetic gas machine it is the flowmeter that measures gases by speed of flow, according to their viscosity and density. Also called rotameter.
