There are many instances when a water utility must measure water quantities; and several types of meters are available for doing the job. Only two, based on accuracy, convenience, and cost factors, truly are suited for use in treatment plants and pumping stations. The author emphasizes that selection and calibration of production meters are important for ensuring the accuracy claimed for them.
