Abstract: One of the most important principles in physics which is applied to the measurement of flowing fluids is the relation between rate of flow of the fluid, and the loss in pressure in flowing through a restriction in the line of flow. We can state this relation simply by saying that the pressure loss so caused is proportional to the square of the velocity of the fluid. Later we shall have occasion to determine this relation mathematically and to study the modifications and limitations which must be observed in making practical applications of this fact to measurement problems. For the present we can accept it as a simple physical fact, and consider its importance to the science of measuring the flow of liquids and gases.
