For selecting orifice plate or any transmitters, it is recommended to select maximum TURN DOWN ratio... why...? please someone explain.

Are you talking about a NG burner?

Study the graph, typical error of an orifice plate DP flow measurment vs flow rate, to see how quickly a DP flowmeter develops a large uncertainty:

Where is your limit of acceptable uncertainty?

Whatever that flow rate limit is, in comparison to the max flowrate, is turndown.
