Which flow consequence results when a fluid's Reynolds number significantly exceeds a specific orifice meter's limit?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow increases with Reynolds number; this causes increased pressure fluctuations because the assumptions of the meter's calibration are violated due to increased friction, therefore reducing accuracy, rather than improving predicted streamline performance.
