  2. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in cm or inches of water. Video of a Venturi meter used in a lab experiment Idealized flow in a Venturi tube. The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a moving fluid

  3. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    A Venturi meter constricts the flow in some fashion, and pressure sensors measure the differential pressure before and within the constriction. This method is widely used to measure flow rate in the transmission of gas through pipelines, and has been used since Roman Empire times. The coefficient of discharge of

  4. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in cm or inches of water and is equivalent to the difference in velocity head. The dynamic pressure, along with the static pressure and the pressure due to elevation, is used in Bernoulli's principle as an energy balance on a closed system .

  5. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [1]:

  6. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

    Parshall flumes (right) alongside other types of flow meters The Parshall flume is an open channel flow-metering device that was developed to measure the flow of surface water and irrigation flow. The Parshall flume is a modified version of the Venturi flume .

  7. Pressure head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_head

    The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in centimeters or inches of water. The venturi meter and manometer is a common type of flow meter which can be used in many fluid applications to convert differential pressure heads into volumetric flow rate, linear fluid speed, or mass flow rate using Bernoulli's principle.

    Venturi tube; Ejector venturi scrubber, a wet scrubber; Venturi effect, a fluid or air flow effect; Venturi mask, a medical device; Venturi meter, a device for measuring the flow rate of fluids in a pipe; Venturi pump, a pump using the venturi effect; Venturi scrubber, gas stream scrubber; Venturi Transport Protocol, transport layer protocol

  9. Venturi flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_flume

    In hydrology, a Venturi flume is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a liquid in situations with large flow rates, such as a river. [1] It is based on the Venturi effect, for which it is named. [2] It was first developed by V.M. Cone in Fort Collins, Colorado. [3] The Venturi flume consists of a flume with a constricted section in ...
