Fig. 61.—Venturi Meter. from which the cubic feet per second discharged under idealconditions is Q = area X velocity Owing to friction losses the discharge thus calculated is too high.To allow for this, a coefficient of discharge, C, less than unity,is introduced. Combining V 2^ and 0.7854, for… … 0.95 and 0.99, and the value of R is usually 2 or 3 to 1. It is thusseen that an uncalibrated Venturi meter may be used with notmore than 2 per cent of error by assuming C = 0.97. The meter is generally shaped with an annular space A, Fig.62, from which to lead the opening transmitting pressure.…
