Which consequence results when a Venturi meter experiences cavitation?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation introduces vapor bubbles, disrupting the pressure differential driving flow measurement; this is *vaporization*, in application of Bernoulli's principle. Inaccurate flow rate measurement occurs therefore, rather than viscosity increase or laminar flow because these do not directly result from cavitation.
