The location sensor and flow rate meter in the accompanying figures may be positioned on or near a fluid conduit, such as a pipe or a standpipe.

Stipple shading is used in all of the accompanying Figures to convey surface contouring and not texture.

It is to be understood that many of the surface intersections in the depicted embodiments may intersect such that a blended or lightly-rounded edge is formed. As such, there may be no “hard” edge present at such locations. A virtual edge may nonetheless be defined at such locations, as represented by a “tangent line” or “tangent edge” which are depicted as grey, dash-dot-dot lines. The tangent edges, for the sake of clarity, represent transitions between a surface and a rounded surface, i.e., where these two surfaces are tangent to one another.

Broken lines are used to depict features or elements that are not considered to be part of the claimed design, for example, as evidenced in FIGS. 1-27 by the removal of shading within the disclaimed features and elements, and the presence of shading outside of the disclaimed features and elements.
