Venturi Tube Apparatus
Model Number: MTFM-130.1
The Venturi Tube Apparatus is a fluid mechanics laboratory setup designed to study the behaviour of fluid as it passes through a converging section, throat, and diverging section of a Venturi tube. Multiple pressure measuring points allow students to observe pressure variation along the tube and relate these changes to fluid velocity and cross-sectional area. The apparatus provides a practical demonstration of the Venturi effect, Bernoulli's equation, continuity principle, pressure distribution, and flow measurement.
Product Specification
The Venturi Tube Apparatus is an educational fluid mechanics laboratory system designed for the practical investigation of pressure and velocity changes occurring when a fluid passes through a Venturi-shaped flow passage.
The Venturi tube consists primarily of a converging section, narrow throat, and diverging section. As fluid enters the converging section, the available flow area decreases and fluid velocity increases. This increase in velocity is accompanied by a reduction in static pressure.
At the throat, where the cross-sectional area is at its minimum, the fluid reaches a comparatively high velocity and low static pressure. As the fluid subsequently enters the diverging section, the flow area increases, velocity decreases, and part of the static pressure is recovered.
Multiple pressure tapping points along the Venturi tube allow pressure conditions to be measured at different positions. These measurements enable students to plot and analyze the pressure distribution along the complete test section.
The apparatus provides a practical demonstration of Bernoulli's equation and the continuity principle. By comparing changes in cross-sectional area, velocity, and pressure, students can understand the energy relationships governing fluid flow through a Venturi tube.
Experimental observations can also be used to study the Venturi effect, in which a reduction in flow area produces an increase in fluid velocity accompanied by a decrease in static pressure.
Depending on the laboratory arrangement, the Venturi Tube Apparatus can be integrated with a suitable air-flow or fluid-flow demonstration system for detailed experimental investigations.
The equipment is particularly useful for studying pressure distribution, velocity variation, flow measurement, pressure recovery, Bernoulli's principle, continuity equation, and Venturi flow characteristics.
Micro Technologies supplies Venturi Tube Apparatus for engineering colleges, universities, polytechnic institutes, technical training centres, and research laboratories requiring practical fluid mechanics and air-flow experimental equipment.

FAQs
What is a Venturi Tube Apparatus used for?
The apparatus is used to study pressure and velocity changes as fluid passes through the converging section, throat, and diverging section of a Venturi tube.
What is the Venturi effect?
The Venturi effect describes the reduction in static pressure that occurs as fluid velocity increases while passing through a restricted section of a flow passage.
What happens at the throat of a Venturi tube?
At the throat, the cross-sectional area is at its minimum. Consequently, fluid velocity increases while static pressure decreases relative to the wider sections.
Can pressure distribution be measured?
Yes. Multiple pressure tapping points allow pressure readings to be obtained at different positions along the Venturi tube.
Can Bernoulli's principle be studied with this apparatus?
Yes. The apparatus provides a practical demonstration of the relationship between pressure and velocity described by Bernoulli's equation.
What is the purpose of the diverging section?
The diverging section gradually increases the flow area, reducing velocity and allowing partial recovery of static pressure.
Can a pressure profile be plotted?
Yes. Pressure readings obtained from different tapping points can be used to plot the pressure distribution along the Venturi tube.
Is the apparatus suitable for engineering colleges?
Yes. It is suitable for fluid mechanics, mechanical engineering, air-flow, and related engineering laboratory courses.
Can the apparatus be customized?
Yes. Test-section dimensions, pressure measurement arrangements, connections, and other experimental requirements can be configured according to institutional needs.
