An Energy Meter, also known as a watt-hour meter, is an electrical device used to measure the amount of electrical energy consumed by a residence, business, or electrically-powered device. The energy is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which is the standard billing unit for energy consumption.
A Pitot tube is a commonly used variable head, fluid velocity measuring device. It is also called as Pitot static tube or air speed indicator (in aircraft). Figure 1: Pitot Tube.

A turbine flow meter is a device used to measure the flow rate of a fluid (liquid or gas) by converting the kinetic energy of the fluid into rotational motion of a turbine. The flow rate is proportional to the rotational speed of the turbine. Figure 1: Turbine Flow Meter.
The McLeod gauge is used for measuring pressures ranging from 0.01 micron to 1 mm of Hg. Figure 1: McLeod Gauge.

In rotameter, the area of flow is measured in such a way that the head differential is constant. Hence rotameter is called variable area meter or area meter. Rotameters are widely used for metering purge flows, pump-seal fluid and coolants and lubricants for operating machinery. Figure 1: Rotameter.

Figure 1: Coriolis Flow Meter. The coriolis flowmeter is primarily used to measure the mass flow rate of liquids, and in some cases gas flow measurements. The construction of coriolis flow meter is shown in Fig. 1. It consists of either a pair of parallel vibrating tubes or else a single vibrating tube that is formed
