Discharge Through Venturimeter, Orificemeter and Rotameter
Model Number: MTFM-111
The Discharge Through Venturimeter, Orificemeter and Rotameter is a fluid mechanics laboratory apparatus designed for studying and comparing different methods of water flow measurement. The setup enables students to determine discharge through a venturimeter and orificemeter and compare the readings with a rotameter. It provides practical understanding of differential pressure flow measurement, coefficient of discharge, pressure variation, and flow-rate measurement. The apparatus is suitable for mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, hydraulics, and fluid mechanics laboratories.
Product Specification
The Discharge Through Venturimeter, Orificemeter and Rotameter apparatus is an educational fluid mechanics system developed for practical investigation of flow measurement using three commonly studied flow-measuring devices. It allows students to observe, measure, and compare water discharge through a venturimeter, orificemeter, and rotameter under controlled laboratory conditions.
The setup provides an effective demonstration of how different flow meters operate and how flow rate can be determined using pressure differences or direct flow indication. Water is circulated through the experimental pipeline, and the flow rate can be regulated to obtain readings at different operating conditions.
The venturimeter section enables students to study the pressure variation that occurs as water passes through a converging section, throat, and diverging section. Pressure measurements taken at appropriate locations can be used to calculate theoretical and actual discharge and determine the coefficient of discharge.
The orificemeter section demonstrates flow through a restricted opening in a pipeline. The pressure difference across the orifice can be measured and used to determine water discharge. Students can compare the experimentally obtained values with theoretical calculations and evaluate the coefficient of discharge of the orificemeter.
The rotameter provides a direct indication of flow rate and allows its readings to be compared with those obtained using the venturimeter and orificemeter. This comparative arrangement helps students understand the operating characteristics, measurement principles, and practical differences between commonly used flow meters.
The apparatus can incorporate a recirculating water arrangement, flow control valve, measuring section, pressure tapping points, differential pressure measuring arrangement, and necessary piping for convenient laboratory experimentation.
This equipment is particularly useful for studying flow measurement, Bernoulli's principle, differential pressure, coefficient of discharge, pressure variation, and calibration of flow-measuring devices.
Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus for engineering colleges, universities, polytechnic institutes, technical training centres, and educational laboratories requiring reliable fluid mechanics experimental equipment.
