Tech/Engineering / concrete mixing equipment
Italian term or phrase: contalitri
I know this is ridiculously easy, but I can't think of the correct term (well, it is getting late...) and it's not in my dictionaries .
Liquid meter?
The subject is still concrete mixing machinery:

"Quindi è stato modificato il serbatoio acqua-olio, accrescendone la capacità, la portata e la robustezza. È stato poi sostituito l’attuale contalitri meccanico con uno di nuova generazione, completamente digitale, che permette anche la memorizzazione dei dati totali e parziali."

Thanks, I don't know why that didn't come to mind. It just sounded too easy after all the technical language I've been wading through over the last few days!

Best wishes,

Sarah

neutral  Anthony Green: I imagine you've already delivered the translation, Sarah, but the examples of litre counter that I can find are all non-native. I would prefer a simpler "meter" or "water meter"
