Purpose :
A Venturi meter is a tube with a constricted throat that increases velocity and decreases pressure. Venturi meters are used for measuring the flow rate of both compressible and incompressible fluids in a pipeline. The apparatus is designed to measure the co-efficient of discharge of Venturimeter. The trainer is self-sufficient unit to study the calibration characteristics of venturimeter.
Construction Details :
- The setup consists of sump tank, pump, Venturi meter & measuring tank.
- The entire system is mounted on a sturdy MS frame.
- The apparatus consists of a pipeline containing Venturimeter.
- The pressure tapings from the Venturimeter to diff. manometer to measure pressure difference is provided.
- By operating the valves, provided at the downstream side, the flow can be regulated.
- 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.
Technical Specifications :
- Piping with necessary Valves and Fittings
- Digital Stop Watch with 1/100 second Accuracy can be supplied at extra cost
- Detailed Technical Manual supplied. However, On-site Training at extra cost
