Im actually so confused about how a small amount of pressure drop across the restictiction can allow the FT to read the total flow rate across the pipeline
As i know increase in pressure drop causes increase in flow rate as per the equation Q = K √(P) . If this is the case, then the flow rate across every parts that has fittings or valves which has different amount of pressure drop will also lead to different amount of flow rate? But theoretically i know that the flow rate across the line be the same.
Or is it related to calibration in the flow transmitter? Like a certain amount of pressure drop will lead to a certain amount of flow rate according to the kfactor, K? Please help.
