The principle behind the Venturi tube lies with its narrowed section, which forces the fluid flowing inside the tube to move faster. By connecting a small tube, with a fluid encased inside, to the different sections of the tube, it is possible to record the displacement of fluid as a function of pressure. I compared the experimental data with the accepted empirical data. I also determined the overall head loss as a function of maximum head differential. I also compared this with the accepted empirical data
