Which of the following parameter is measured with the help of elbow meter?
Which of the following parameter is measured with the help of elbow meter? Correct Answer Discharge
Concept:
As shown in the figure, the elbow meter used to find the rate of flow or discharge by determining the differential pressure developed between the inner and outer radii of the elbow.

Important points:
1. It is based on the principle that the fluid exerts a centrifugal force on inside of the pipe wall thus creating a pressure difference.
2. 45° tap is used in general to find the pressure difference.
3. It is used when space restricts other flow measuring devices to compute the rate of flow.
