Abstract: Unlike the positive displacement meter, the orifice meter does not measure volume. Instead it measures physical characteristics of a fluid such as pressure and pressure differential which can be converted into flowing volumes by use of a basic equation developed by a Swiss scientist, Daniel Bernoulli, in 1738. Since volume is obtained with an orifice meter after a determination of the physical characteristics, it can be termed an inferentialtype meter that is, measurement is by inference or deduction.
