Tubing is installed and this skid is now finished. Next step will be to fill the system to 10% above operating pressure and let it sit to check for leaks. After that I’ll set the pressure release valve and back pressure valve to the customers specifications. After that I’ll dry it out and crate it for shipping.

The thing about trades is it's such a broad craft. You could have certification in Automotive Repair but just be doing engine dyno testing or wheel alignments, and another guy with the same qualifications is rebuilding engines all day. A lot of times if you are in a high demand trade and have a good head on your shoulders you will move into a higher paid but more specialized and specific position at a company. A good example is the Heavy Duty Technician trade, where a friend of mine went from electrical diagnostics on engines to helping design vehicle/machine tracking systems alongside engineers that build the tracking units.

You can stick a temperature probe to a pipe. Or you can backfeed it into a tap and seal it up.

You cannot really measure the water flow without opening the pipes. You can measure or estimate your water usage first and then calculate it, but without actually measuring the flow, there is no way to tell, and you can only do that mechanically.

You can build a system with pressure sensors at two ends of a pipe. By calculating the properties of said pipe (actual water flow measurements; or estimates from dimensions, material type, current state, type …) and by

Why do you feel you have the need to measure water flow?
