Which consequence arises when a flowmeter's Reynolds number exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate flow readings occur because exceeding Re design limits leads to turbulent flow, which violates the assumptions of the flowmeter's governing equation, therefore the displayed flow rate will not match the actual flow, rather than laminar behavior.
