Bucket pulsometer is an industrial tool used for measuring the flow rate of water in pipes or channels. Although the term bucket pulsometer is widely used, there are a few other synonyms for it, such as a water-wheel pulsometer, a reciprocating pulsometer, and an impulse water pump. All of these terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same type of device. The bucket pulsometer operates by using the kinetic energy of the water to create pressure, which in turn powers the mechanism and causes it to take readings. This instrument has been used for centuries and has undergone many improvements and modifications, but its basic function remains the same.
