Which of the following fluid flow measuring devices can measure the largest flow rate ?
Correct answer: D. Weir
- A. V-notch
- B. Rotameter
- C. Orificemeter
- D. Weir
Explanation
A weir is used for measuring relatively large open-channel flow rates, whereas a V-notch is mainly suited to small flows and a rotameter to comparatively low pipe flows. Hence the weir has the greatest capacity among these choices.
