Can a liquid orifice flow meter be used for gases?

Can a liquid orifice plate flow meter used on-site be applied to gases, and how should it be modified appropriately? Thank you!
It cannot be used due to different medium densities.
Not applicable; the flow channel is short and there are many eddies, so it is not suitable. Gases can have gas venturi tubes.
If the medium is different, the design needs to be recalculated; even if it’s possible to use parameters, the values will still likely differ. It is best to consult the orifice plate manufacturer for confirmation.
First, the accuracy is not high. Second, one oneself or the manufacturer calculates the range using formulas
