This is the theory behind and orifice plate (and venturi). It shows how Bernoulli’s equation and the continuity equation are used to derive the equation for flow rate from a measured pressure drop across the orifice.

This is the theory behind and orifice plate (and venturi). It shows how Bernoulli’s equation and the continuity equation are used to derive the equation for flow rate from a measured pressure drop across the orifice.
Basically it is possible to work with a venturi solution in this case. But also a Pitot tube solution comes into consideration. To figure out the solution that fits best we need further information
Walt Boyes tells it like it is in Flow Measurement: Part One– Differential Pressure Flow Measurement, another in our Back to Basics series.
