How to calculate totalizer of water flow

 How to calculate totalizer of water flow

Hi all,

Suppose water is flowing through a pipe and we've installed flow meter on the pipe. Sometimes flow is 10 liter/sec and sometimes 20 litar/sec and this is we can see on any gauge or meter.

I want to understand that how to measure total water consumption for a certain time i.e. one hour 42 minutes. Is it possible this is done by any electronics way or micro controller programming? Please any ideas???

Google for integration.

How long distance will you travel if you drive at 50km/h for one hour?

How long distance will you travel if you drive at 30km/h for 10 minutes, 50km/h for 20 minutes and 70km/h for 30 minutes?

Same, same with your water meter.

 The clue is in the units!

"litre/second" means "litre per second"; ie, in one second, one litre passes.

That is, at 1 litre/second, in each and every second, a litre passes.

So you should be able to see the relationship between the number of elapsed seconds, the number of litres per second, and the total number of litres over that time...

This really is basic school maths stuff!

NB: it's either "litre" or "liter" (USA) - but not "litar".
