Convert flow meter measurements in lb/s into m3/s and draw a graph of flow versus orifice and venture readings (∆P) and another of flow rate2 versus orifice and venture readings (∆P). Does the shape of the graph agree with the theory? Explain your answer.

From the graphs you can see that as the flow rate increases so does the pressure difference. Pressure Difference in orifice meter increases at faster rate compared to Venturi Meter.
