Venturimeter and Orifis Plate have same calculations. In real value we have to multiple 𝐶𝐷
then the equation turns
𝐷1 = 26 𝑚𝑚 𝐷2 = 16𝑚𝑚
𝐴1 = 𝜋𝑟 2 𝑚𝑚 = 5.31𝑥10−4 𝑚2 𝐴2 = 𝜋𝑟 2 𝑚𝑚 = 2.0106𝑥10−4 𝑚2
∆𝑃 = 0.01 𝑚𝐻2 𝑂 = 98.0638 𝑃𝑎
ℎ𝑝 = 9.996𝑥10−3 𝑚3
Venturi meter
Venturi meter is the most accurate flowmeter in this group, but it is also the most expensive.
Its gradual contraction and expansion prevent flow separation and swirling, and it suffers only
frictional losses on the inner wall surfaces. Venturi meters cause very low head losses, and
thus, they should be preferred for applications that cannot allow large pressure drops.
Nozzle Meters
In nozzle meters, the plate is replaced by a nozzle, and thus the flow in the nozzle is
streamlined. As a result, the vena contracta is practically eliminated and the head loss is
smaller. However, flow nozzle meters are more expensive than orifice meters.
Turbine flow meters
The flow rate is based on the principle of force of the turbine to rotate and reading of the
rotational speed with the magnetic sensor.
Magnetic flowmeters
This measurement method is like the DC dynamo principle. In the case of conductors between
the magnetic fields, the voltage is induced if it is moved. Here, the two opposite electrodes on
the fluid carrying pipe output by inducing voltage when the liquid is moving. The value of the
voltage proportional to the flow is taken. One of the main conditions here is that the liquid is
conductive.
Ultrasonic Flowmeter
It is based on the principle of delivering the sound signal in the liquid to the opposite receiver.
This transport process will change when the flow is fast. This change is considered to be a
stream.
