Abstract
This paper describes an apparatus intended to gauge the flow of fluids by the collection of a proportionate part of the flow, or its equivalent, in a small vessel where it can be readily measured at any time. This result is accomplished by the use of very small orifices for the purpose of regulating the discharge into or out of the collecting vessel, and other special arrangements, whereby the pressure head under which the discharge into the collecting vessel takes place is at all times the equivalent, or a constant ratio, of the velocity head of the liquid or gas being measured.
