A device for measuring the velocity of a gas or liquid. The three common types are those which monitor the difference in pressure between two points in a duct (Venturi or Fleisch tube), those which detect the cooling effect of the flow past a heated body (hot wire anemometer), and those in which the flow drives a small windmill. An example of the latter type is the Wright's respirometer.
