Gas flow rate calculation formula

Could some expert provide a more accurate formula for calculating gas flow rate? Thank you in advance
His calculations all rely on Bernoulli’s equation, which deals with the relationship between kinetic energy, potential energy, static pressure energy, and losses before and after passing through a flow meter! Generally, the losses are ignored; on a horizontal plane, this means that the static pressure energy in front of the flow meter divided by the fluid density, plus half the square of the flow velocity in front of the flow meter, is equal to the static pressure energy behind the flow meter divided by the fluid density, plus half the square of the flow velocity behind the flow meter. The flow rate is calculated using this Bernoulli equation! You can take a close look at the principles of chemical engineering!
It can be calculated using Bernoulli’s equation, or through the equilibrium formula: p1 + 1/2ρv1^2 + ρgh1 = p2 + 1/2ρv2^2 + ρgh2 (1) p + ρgh + (1/2)*ρv^2 = constant (2)
