Dear all
All water meters are flow meter but all flow meters are not water meter.
The meter which is specifically for water flow (for billing purpose usually) is water meter.
Flow meter can be used for many other fluids like oil, chilled water and other fluids in different industries like honey, milk and many more.
Also they can be used for energy metering.

For me, I think Water Meter is a type of flow meter.
But as I have seen in my project, Water Meter is used for billing purposes and installed permanently for flow measured.
Flow Meters also do the same but they can be temporarily installed and removed as required for testing and commissioning purposes.
