Which phenomenon limits flow rate measurements using venturi meters?

A)Cavitation erosion due to vapour pressure
B)Accurate readings increase with Reynolds number
C)Static pressure increase upstream linearly
D)Dynamic viscosity does not affect measurement

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion limits venturi meters because Bernoulli's principle underestimates real pressure drop where high velocity causes **vapourization**. Therefore, cavitation occurs, rather than accurate measurements, since localized low pressure bubbles damage sensors.
