Construction Details :
- The setup consists of sump tank, pump, orifice meter, venturimeter & measuring tank.
- The entire system is mounted on a sturdy MS frame.
- The apparatus consists of two pipelines emerging out from a common manifold.
- One pipeline contain a Venturimeter and other contain an Orifice meter.
- The pressure tapings from the Venturimeter and Orifice meter are taken to differential manometer to measure pressure difference.
- The Venturimeter & Orifice meter are connected in parallel and anyone of them can be put in operation by operating valves provided at the downstream.
- These valves can also regulate the flow.
- Present set‑up is self‑contained water re‑circulating unit.
- Flow control valve and by‑pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates.
- Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stopwatch.
