The head loss across a venturi meter is usually between 10% and 20% of Δh.
This percentage decreases for larger venturis and as the flow rate increases.

In the case of venturimeters, the friction losses are generally about 10% to 20% of the maximum velocity head. This means that a portion of the energy is lost due to friction as the fluid passes through the venturi meter, resulting in a decrease in the overall pressure.
The losses are influenced by factors such as the smoothness of the venturi meter walls, the velocity of the fluid, and the characteristics of the fluid itself.
