Topics: Introduction Equations Discharge Coefficients Error Messages References. Introduction to Orifice Flow Meter Calculation. Orifice flow meters are used to determine a liquid or gas flow rate by measuring the differential pressure (P1 - P2) across the orifice plate. The two standard pressure tapping arrangements for small bore orifices are shown in the drawings; the location of the pressure taps affects the discharge coefficient somewhat.
Pipe flow is described in gallons per minute (GPM). Shorter lengths of pipe will have a greater flow than a longer length of the same diameter. This is caused by internal resistance of the pipe itself. By the same reasoning a larger diameter pipe will have a greater flow or GPM than a smaller pipe at the same pressure or flow rate. Pressure is described as pounds per square inch (PSI). The square-inch measurement is determined by the area of the pipe.
