Question

Difference between venturimeter and orifice meter in terms of appliccation and use

Answer 1

A Venturi meter is used to measure the flow rate through a tube. It is based on the use of the Venturi effect, the reduction of fluid pressure that results when a fluid runs through a constricted section of pipe
An Orifice Meter is basically a type of flow meter used to measure the rate of flow of Liquid or Gas, especially Steam, using the Differential Pressure Measurement principle.
A venturi meter can be used to measure the flow rates of all incompressible fluids (gases with low pressure variations, as wells as liquids), whereas an orifice meter is generally used for measuring the flow rate of liquid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between Venturi meter and orifice meter in terms of application and use ?

• Venturi meter presents a costlier method to measure the rate flow of fluid through the pipe. Orifice meter presents a cheaper method to measure the rate of flow through the pipe.
• Energy losses are less in a venturi meter whereas Energy losses are more in case of an orifice meter.
• Venturi meter has a high coefficient of discharge as compared to an orifice meter.
• Venturi meter is more complex to fabricate than an orifice meter.
• Venturi meter requires large space whereas orifice meter requires relatively smaller space.
