SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating air flow through a venturi using differential pressure measurements. The Bernoulli equation is identified as a foundational tool for this calculation. Participants emphasize the importance of correction factors, specifically discharge coefficients, as outlined in ASME MFC-3M and the ASME report on Fluid Meters (ISBN 0-7918-0643-X). These resources provide essential guidelines for accurate flow measurement in engineering applications.
