A form of gas or liquid flowmeter consisting of a diaphragm in which there is an orifice placed transversely across a pipe, the difference in pressure on the two sides of the diaphragm is a measure of flow velocity. 4, record 1, English, - orifice%20meter
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
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
