2.4. Advantages & Disadvantages Advantages 1. Less losses and high accuracy. 2. High coefficient of discharge. 3. Can measure 25-50% more flow as compare to any flow measuring devices. 4. Less susceptible to wear and corrosion, ad can be installed in any direction between pipes. 5. Suitable for measurement in large pipes, with high pressure recovery. Disadvantages 1. Size and cost is high. 2. Difficult inspection due to its construction. 3. Cannot be used for pipes with small diameters. 4. Big and heavy with considerable length.
