Which of the following flow meter primary devices works on the constriction type, differential head principle?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — Venturi tube
A Venturi tube creates a pressure differential by accelerating fluid through a constricted throat section. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure drop across the constriction is proportional to the square of the flow rate. This differential head is then measured to calculate the instantaneous flow velocity.
