Abstract: An orifice meter is a differential pressure device. Bernoullis Principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluids potential energy. Orifice meters have been in use for decades, and in the energy industry, it is one of the most widely used meter technologies. Orifice has primarily been used for gas measurement. Some of the reasons for this could be that most of the past research was conducted by the American Gas Association (AGA), liquid measurement has had a wider variety of devices that could be used, etc. It is important to know that much of the research conducted to develop orifice meter factors, such as discharge coefficients, was performed using oil, water, steam, air, and natural gas. The theory and technical basis of orifice measurement applies to any fluid, be it gas or liquid.
