It functions as a type of flow indicator that measures how much fluid passes through a line in a given period. Most oval meters measure the volume of fluid that has passed through the pipeline in gallons per hour or minute. There are two main types of oval meters, paddlewheel and turbine, each offering distinct benefits and features.
