The rate of flow in a force main leaving a stormwater pump station can be measured by which of the following?
  1. Venturi meter
  2. Disk meter
  3. Positive displacement factor
  4. Calibration meter
Explanation
Answer: A - The rate of flow in a force main leaving a stormwater pump station can be measured by a Venturi meter. A Venturi meter is constructed with a converging section of pipe which increases the flow velocity and pressure loss. The rate of flow through the meter can then be calculated using the Bernoulli equation, which is based on the conservation of energy fluid mechanics law.
