Calculate the pressure drop in a constricted section of pipe using the Venturi effect. This calculator is essential for flow measurement devices, carburetors, and industrial flow meters.
Enter your values below
Density of the fluid
Fluid velocity in the wider pipe section
Fluid velocity in the constricted section
How this calculator works
The pressure drop equals one-half times fluid density times the difference of the squared velocities at the constriction and the wider section.
