The compact design of pygmy
meters – the bucket wheel is just 3/4 inch by 2 inches in diameter -
allows measurement of shallower and lower velocity flows. The pygmy
meter provides reliable measurements of flows down to 0.05 feet per
second at depths as shallow as 3 inches. Except for the absence of a
five revolution click, these models operate identically to the larger
Price type meters in both headphone and digital models.
Pygmy meters are rod
suspended only.
