Orifice Flow Meter
Web Listings Publications News Topics Information
An orifice plate is a device which measures the rate of fluid flow. It uses the same principle as a Venturi nozzle, namely Bernoulli's principle which says that there is a relationship between the pressure of the fluid and the velocity of the fluid. When the velocity increases, the pressure decreases and vice versa.

Orifice, Nozzle and Venturi Flow Rate Meters
The orifice, nozzle and venturi flow rate meters use the Bernoulli Equation to calculate the fluid flow rate using pressure difference through obstructions in the flow
Flowrate Calculation for an Orifice Flowmeter
This calculator computes the pressure drop across an orifice, which can be used to measure the flowrate of the fluid.
