Best Answer

Whether or not it is a mechanical or electronic meter, the meter is placed along the local water line (the branch off of the main line that carries water to your home, office, store, etc. Water flows through this pipe as you consume it when you turn the taps on and stops when you turn the taps off.

A mechanical water meter has a turbine inside that spins as water flows through. This turbine is calibrated to show the amount of water consumed, similar to a speedometer/odometer on a car that shows speed/mileage as the wheels turn.

An electronic water meter has a sensor instead of a mechanical turbine that records the flow of water.

How does a gamma density meter work?

Hertz cycle meter on a generator that is not showing a reading how can it be checked?

First, ensure that the generator is running and producing electricity. If the generator is producing power but the Hertz cycle meter is still not showing a reading, the meter itself might be faulty and need to be replaced or repaired. Alternatively, check the connections between the meter and the generator to ensure they are secure and not damaged.

How does an automatic electric kettle work?

An automatic electric kettle works by using an internal heating element to rapidly heat the water.

The kettle then switches to keep the water warm until it is ready to be poured.
