Flow Measurement Data

The document contains experimental data from measurements of water flow rate using different flow measurement devices including a rotameter, orifice plate, and magnetic flow meter. A linear relationship was found between the height of the bobber in the rotameter and the volumetric flow rate based on the formula y = 9.84073825371798E-005x + 3.6982217618. Percent errors between calculated and measured flow rates were generally within 10% except for some outliers.
