Percentage of differential pressure lost in a Venturimeter with a tapering of 15° may be about___________________?

Correct answer: B. 10

  • A. 1
  • B. 10
  • C. 25
  • D. 50

Explanation

A Venturi meter with a 15° taper has a relatively efficient gradual passage, so its permanent pressure loss is commonly about 10% of the differential pressure. The larger values represent much poorer, more abrupt flow passages.
