Abstract: The orifice meter is the most widely used type of measuring device in the differential-pressure class. This is due primarily to the basic advantage of this type of meter in satisfactorily measuring relatively large quantities of fluids in an almost limitless variety of circumstances throughout the chemical and gas industries. It is successfully used for the measurement of helium, the lightest known gas, and for tar, one of the most viscous liquids. It is also employed in the measurement of the mineral sulphur which, in its native state, is a solid that is brought to the surface of the earth by means of high pressure steam. The orifice meter is used for measuring fluids at temperatures ranging from -300F. to in excess of 1000 F., and under pressure conditions ranging from a vacuum to 5000 psL or more. This adaptability to such a wide variety of conditions undoubtedly makes the orifice meter the most versatile of all measuring devices.
