The flow rate is calculated by measuring the pressure differential and extracting its square root.		which states the fact that the pressure drop across the meter is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate.

	In case of compressible fluids, the ratio of differential pressure divided by upstream pressure should not exceed 0.25 for reduction of error and correction of density. Metering errors caused due to wrong installation of the primary element can become considerable i.e. up to 10%. Following are the possible causes of these errors:		In case of compressible fluids, the ratio of differential pressure divided by upstream pressure should not exceed 0.25 for reduction of error and correction of density.
