Within a Venturi meter with high flow, which outcome results when pipe roughness significantly increases?

A)Pressure differential reading error
B)Reduced cavitation risk downstream
C)Increased accuracy in flow measurement
D)Higher calculated fluid viscosity apparent

💡 Explanation

Increased pipe roughness transitions flow toward turbulence; this phenomenon causes error because the Bernoulli Equation assumes ideal, laminar flow. Therefore, differential pressure readings become incorrect, rather than improving the measurement, because high roughness invalidates the core assumption.
