Is there an observable trend or difference between all the flowmeters readings (venturi, rotameter, and orifice) and the system flow rate (obtained using magnetic or coriolis flowmeters?
For orifice meter and venturi it is used generally for constant discharge while rotameter is used to measure variable discharge .
In betweens orfice meter and venturi meter coefficient of discharge in orifice meter is high therefore discharge for the same pressure difference discharge measure by orifice meter is less .Hence it is less accurate compare to venturi meter
Now for magnesti flow meter ,it is also called as electromagnetic flow meter.
Following are the advantages of elctro magnetic flow meter
1) doesn't obstruct the flow
2) give complete linear output in the form of voltage
3) reverse flow can be measured
4)very low flow velocity 10^-6 m/s can be meausrme
