Flow Measurement by Venturimeter and Orificemeter

The dimensions for the flow meters are given as follows. Note these values for future reference.


For Venturimeter

  • Cross sectional area at throat of Venturimeter S2 = 1.76 * 10-4 m2
  • The ratio of the diameter of throat to that of diameter of pipe β is 0.4848

For Orificemeter

  • Cross sectional area to orifice meter S2 = 1.54 * 10-4 m2
  • The ratio of the diameter of orifice to that of diameter of pipe β is 0.4904
