Water flow rate in a pipe of 3.5 metres diameter can be most economically and conveniently measured by a/an ________________?

Correct answer: A. Pitot tube

  • A. Pitot tube
  • B. Venturimeter
  • C. Orificemeter
  • D. Rotameter

Explanation

A Pitot tube is especially convenient for large-diameter pipes because it requires only a small probe and measures local velocity without installing a large obstruction. Venturimeters are accurate but expensive and require substantial installation space.
