Orifice meter
An orifice meter or orifice plate is a flat plate having a central hole that is placed across the flow of a liquid, usually between flanges
[1]
in a pipeline. The pressure difference generated by the flow velocity through the hole enables the flow quantity to be measured.
Venturi meter
A venturi meter is a flow measurement instrument which use a converging section of pipe to give an increase in the flow velocity and
a corresponding pressure drop from which the flow rate can be deduced. They have been in common use for many years, especially
in the water supply industry[2]
