Pitot tube - velocity of pipe.
Hotwire anemometer - velocity of the gas.
Current meter - velocity o0f open-chain flow.
Venturimeter - rate of flow (discharge).
Rotta meter - discharge.
Orifice meter - discharge.
Nozzle meter - discharge.
Elbow/bend meter - discharge.

A pitot tube, also known as pitot probe, is a flow measurement device used to measure fluid flow velocity. The pitot tube was invented by the French engineer Henri Pitot in the early 18th century and was modified to its modern form in the mid-19th century by French scientist Henry Darcy.

Pitot tube is used to measure stagnation pressure.

Pitot static tube is used to measure static pressure.

By taking a difference of static and stagnation pressure we get dynamic pressure.

By using Dynamic pressure we can find velocity of flow.
