    Orifice meters require to compensate for pressure and temperature when one uses these meters to measure the steam or the gas flow in the pipes with the variable operating pressure as well as temperature conditions.

    Normally chemists do not have online density measurement tool and thus to avoid complications, the chemists consider density as constant parameter.

    In the steam or the gas flow measurement, density of steam or gas changes as the pressure and the temperature change. This significant change in the density can affect accuracy of measured flow rate if the change is uncompensated and thus, this has to be fixed in order to avoid errors. Therefore, it is important to compensate for the pressure and the temperature when orifice is used to measure the steam or the gas flow.
