An orifice meter is an inferential meter in which the fluid velocity and flowrate are inferred from the pressure drop occurring through the known area of an orifice plate. Specifically, orifice meter flow is calculated from the flowing gas pressure and temperature, differential pressure drop occurring across the restriction of the meter’s orifice plate, the meter geometry including the meter tube’s inside diameter and orifice plate bore, and the gas composition. 5, record 1, English, - orifice%20meter
