An instrument that measures the flow rate or flux of a fluid, gas, or electric/magnetic field.
Compound from 'flux' (flowing quantity) + 'meter' (measuring device, from Greek 'metron' meaning measure). A modern technical term from engineering and physics.
Modern water companies use fluxmeters to detect tiny leaks in pipes—the same technology helps climate scientists measure ocean currents that regulate global temperature.
