Basics of The Orifice Plate Flow Meter
As discussed in flow instrumentation: principles and formulas, when there is a flow restriction in a pipe, a differential pressure results which can then be related to the volumetric flow rate through the restriction.

The principle of a flow restriction creating a differential pressure is what is used in the orifice meter to measure the flow rate of liquids, steam and gases.
The orifice flow meter consists basically of:
(a) A primary device, the orifice plate that creates the flow restriction
(b) A secondary device that measures the differential pressure created by the orifice plate.
