ORIFICE PLATE
The orifice plate is the simplest and
cheapest. It is simply a plate with a hole of
specified size and position cut in it, which
can then clamped between flanges in a
pipeline
The increase that occurs in the velocity of a
fluid as it passes through the hole in the
plate results in a pressure drop being
developed across the plate.
After passing through this restriction, the
fluid flow jet continues to contract until a
minimum diameter known as the vena
contracta is reached.

VENTURI TUBE

This device is based on Bernoullis principle.

The restriction is introduced into the flow in a more gradual way.
The discharge coefficient C is much nearer unity (0.95).
The disadvantages of the Venturi tube flowmeter are its size and
cost.
The smooth design of the Venturi tube means that it is less
sensitive to erosion than the orifice plate, and thus more suitable
for use with dirty gases or liquids.
Like the orifice plate and nozzle, the design, installation, and use of
the Venturi tube is covered by a number of international standards.
