Differential pressure is the pressure difference between the pressure measured at D and at d.
Other devices typically used to determine flowrate are orifices and nozzles , but the venturi tube has less head loss than either of these other methods due to its streamlined design. The calculation above is for liquids and gases. Gas expansibility is not important in the venturi calculation since differential pressures are low compared with those in nozzle and orifice flowmeters - where expansibility is important. The ISO reference has a more complete discussion of venturi tubes than the ASME reference, so the ISO equations are used in our calculations. The number of constants was set equal to the number of data points plus 1.
