Orifice Meter Introduction | Orifice Meter Working Principle |Orifice Meter Application | Orifice Meter Types | Orifice Meter Formula

Introduction: - Orifice Meter An orifice meter is a device used to measure the flow rate of a fluid through a pipe by creating a pressure differential across a constriction within the pipe, usually in the form of a thin plate with a hole in the center. As the fluid flows through the orifice, the pressure drops, and the flow rate can be calculated using Bernoulli's equation and the orifice's known characteristics. Orifice meters are commonly used in industrial applications, such as oil and gas pipelines, to monitor and control the flow of liquids and gases. Orifice Meter Working Principle: - Orifice Meter An orifice meter is a device used to measure the flow rate of a fluid in a pipeline. It relies on a principle known as the Bernoulli's principle, which states that the pressure of a fluid decreases as the velocity of the fluid increases.  The orifice meter consists of a plate with a circular hole in the middle, called an orifice plate. The orifice plate is placed perpend
