low flow water meter Explanation: It could be this but I'm not sure if this means that the meter is capable of detecting low flows or limits the flow to low. Both meanings seem to be suggested in my references https://www.flows.com/low-flow-water-meters/ https://proconit.com.au/products/flow-meters/agricultural-industrial-water-flow-meters/seb-low-flow-water-meter |

small (size) water meter Explanation: Another source that refers to 'small size water meters': https://www.projproc.com/tender/11033-supply-small-size-wate... ‘Calibre’ refers to the pipe diameter, the NPS (Nominal Pipe Size), or DN (le diamètre nominal): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_Pipe_Size https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/nps-nominal-pipe-sizes-d_... Another possibility is ‘jet meters (single-jet and multi-jet) and displacement meters’ for ‘compteurs d'eau de petit calibre’. And ‘turbine meter’ or ‘bulk (flow) water meters’ for ‘compteurs d'eau gros calibre’. Working from this classification: smarteo-water.e-monsite.com/pages/questions/le-compteur-d-eau/les-types-de-compteur-d-eau.html And this Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:315241-2019:TEXT:FR:HTML Reference: http://mission.sfgov.org/oca_bid_attachments/FA42063.pdf |

Reference: "Compteurs d’eau" for beginners ... Reference information: La classe A, B ou C définit la précision de la mesure en fonction de son débit minimal (+/- 5%) et de son débit de transition (+/- 2%).Pour un calibre donné, les compteurs de différentes classes ont les mêmes Qn et Qmax. Un compteur de classe C mesure les petits débits avec plus de précision qu’un compteur de classe A.Tous nos compteurs d’eau sont en conformité avec la norme ISO 4064. Compteurs d’eau Calibre----mm----Qn m3/h Débit nominal ----Qmax m3/h Débit max.
