One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fluid flow measurement basics

Fluid flow measurement basics cover the principles and devices used to quantify the movement of fluids in engineering systems. Mastering the continuity equation, Bernoulli’s principle, and the operation of differential‑pressure flow meters (orifice plates, venturi tubes, flow nozzles) is essential for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams, as these concepts form the foundation for more advanced flow measurement topics.
