👉 A capillary meter is a device used for measuring the flow rate of water or other liquids through small openings in a tube. It works by using a capillary effect, which occurs when liquid flows freely through tiny tubes with a diameter smaller than its own radius. This means that as the capillaries expand and contract, they exert a force on the tube walls, causing it to vibrate and measure the flow rate. Capillary meters are commonly used in industrial applications for measuring fluid flow rates in
