Venturimeter and orificemeter measures the _____________ of the fluid?
Correct answer: B. Average velocity
- A. Pressure
- B. Average velocity
- C. Maximum velocity
- D. Point velocity
Explanation
These meters determine flow rate from the pressure difference between sections, and dividing flow rate by pipe area gives the cross-sectional average velocity. They do not measure the point or maximum velocity directly.
