Flow This is a glacier on Mars, or at least it was at one point. This image was captured by the HiRISE instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft, which means that at its highest resolution, meter-sized boulders are visible in this camera shot. The image is sorta upside-down, as north is at the bottom side of this frame, but that’s how the spacecraft shot was oriented. The bottom side of this image is the high ground, so ice formed on that slope and flowed downhill, moving rocks and leaving streamlines with it.

H2O ice is not stable on Mars’s surface today, so there can’t be ice exposed at the top of this glacier – it would sublimate away. However, it is possible for there to still be some ice here; it could be fully covered by rock debris that keeps it protected from sublimation, or it could even still be cementing together some of the rocks. If there is no ice here, then these flow paths would be marked by moraines – piles of dirt left behind by the glacier. -JBB Image credit: https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_018857_2225

Cole-Parmer Spring-Loaded Inline Flowmeter for Water, Air or Nitrogen; 30 GPM with Switch, 1" NPT(F

Spring-loaded, no-float design means these versatile, economical meters do not depend on gravity for accurate readings. Mount in any position in your flow line. Straight pipe runs are not required before or after the flowmeter. Pressure drop is only 4 psi full scale. Flowmeters feature a knife-edged piston for easy reading which remains visible even through cloudy liquids. Cole-Parmer Spring-Loaded Inline Flowmeter for Water, Air or Nitrogen; 30 GPM with Switch, 1" NPT(F Working parts are easily removed for maintenance. Ideal for general water and air applications, including process water and cooling water lines. Flowmeters feature direct reading scales for water in GPM and LPM, as well as for air (at 90 psi) in scfmand SLPM.
