Which phenomenon limits flow rate measurements using venturi meters?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion limits venturi meters because Bernoulli's principle underestimates real pressure drop where high velocity causes **vapourization**. Therefore, cavitation occurs, rather than accurate measurements, since localized low pressure bubbles damage sensors.
