Power loss in an orificemeter is _____________ that in a Venturimeter?
Correct answer: A. More than
- A. More than
- B. Same as
- C. Less than
- D. Data insufficient, cannot be predicted
Explanation
An orifice meter causes greater permanent pressure loss because the abrupt contraction and expansion produce flow separation and turbulence. A Venturi meter recovers more pressure through its gradual geometry.
