You can let it flow into a bucket for a given length of time and measure the volume. There are also flow meters available that are placed in the pipe which provide an analog or digital electronic output that is proportional to flow rate. google flow meters.

For liquids other units used depend on the application and industry but might include gallons (U.S. liquid or imperial) per minute, liters per second, bushels per minute and, when describing river flows, acre-feet per day.
Velocity water meters:
A velocity type meter measures the velocity of flow though a meter of a known internal capacity. The speed of the flow can then be converted into volume of flow for usage. There are a number of types of meters that measure water flow velocity to determine totalized usage. They include jet meters (single-jet and multi-jet), turbine meters, propeller meters, and mag meters. Most velocity based meters have an adjustment vane for calibration of the meter to required accuracy standards.
