An electronic flowmeter includes a body defining an interior, an inlet port in communication with the interior, an outlet port in communication with the interior, and a valve selectively adjustable between open and closed positions for communication between the outlet port and the interior. A flow sensor is associated with the valve and sensing a flowrate therethrough, and a digital indicator displays the flowrate sensed by the flow sensor. 1. An electronic flowmeter , comprising:a body defining an interior;an inlet port in communication with the interior;an outlet port in communication with the interior;a valve selectively adjustable between open and closed positions for communication between the outlet port and the interior;a flow sensor associated with the valve and sensing a flowrate therethrough; anda digital indicator displaying the flowrate sensed by the flow sensor.2. The electronic flowmeter of claim 1 , wherein the digital indicator includes a plurality of LEDs sequentially illuminating proportionally with an increase in the flowrate sensed by the flow sensor.3. The electronic flowmeter of claim 1 , wherein the digital indicator includes an LCD screen displaying a digital indication of the flowrate sensed by the flow sensor.4. The electronic flowmeter of claim 1 , further including a microprocessor in electronic communication with the flow sensor and the display claim 1 , the microprocessor receiving a flowrate signal from the flow sensor and outputting a corresponding control signal to the digital indicator.5. The electronic flowmeter of claim 4 , wherein:the valve is an electromechanical valve; andthe microprocessor is in electronic communication with the valve to control adjustment of the valve between the open and closed positions.6. The electronic flowmeter of claim 5 , further including a regulator sensor determining a position of the valve between the open and closed positions claim 5 , the microprocessor being in electronic communication with the ...
