Usage: technical

Examples

• The scientist used a velocimeter to measure the speed of the flowing water.
• The velocimeter showed that the wind was moving at 25 miles per hour.
• Engineers installed a velocimeter to monitor the velocity of particles in the pipeline.
• The laboratory’s velocimeter could detect even small changes in fluid speed.
• Researchers calibrated the velocimeter before beginning their velocity measurements.
• The digital velocimeter provided more accurate readings than the older analog model.
