Talk:Venturi

There are a ton of good diagrams of plain venturis and ventiuri meters that can be found on Google Image Search. My drawing skill is not good; can somebody redraw one? Rpresser 20:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded an image (GFDL'ed) of an actual Venturi Tube apparatus from Green Hope High School Physics department. In other considerations, we should really consider a merge - I may merge this article with Venturi Effect.Nimur 14:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like an eponymous name, especially since it's getting written with a capital initial letter. Who is its eponym? The article should say. Michael Hardy 20:52, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Accuracy

I doubt it is true that orifice plates are less accurate than venturis for measuring mass flow. More likely the other way round. It is true that the pressure drop from a venturi is very much less though. Man with two legs 18:47, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For flow measurement, it is easier to make a very accurate orifice than a very accurate venturi. There is more to a venturi, so there will be more imperfections in it. NuicWen (talk) 06:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
