Title: Fundamental Principles Of Orifice Meters

Abstract: The orifice meter as we are most familiar is an instrument that records or computes a flow that occurs in a meter run and orifice plate. To be more precise it is a device that meters the velocity. The volume flow rates are obtained by considering the cross-sectional areas involved. The total quantity, over a measured period is obtained by multiplying the flow rate by the elapsed time. The basic flow equation comes from an analysis made originally by Daniel Bernoulli in 1738 and is based on the conservation of energy as applied to flowing fluids.
