Venturimeter & Orifice Meter and Rotameter Test Rig

quick overview :

Venturimeter & Orifice Meter and Rotameter Test Rig

System Description:

This self-sufficient unit is used to study the characteristics of orifice meter, venturi meter & Rotameter (Optional). The calibration of these meters can be studied by comparing the calculated flow to the actual flow measured in measuring tank. Rotameter is connected in discharge line of pump. Pressure tapings are provided at appropriate location for measurement of differential pressure with Mercury U tube manometer. The Test set up of the Trainer can be used along with the Hydraulic Bench.The test set up system will be supplied with orifice meter, venturimeter, rotameter, Base for these unit and all essential accessories.

List of Experiment:

1.Flow measurement using venturimeter, orifice meter, variable area flow meter like Rotameter 2.Calibration of Flow meters. 3.Demonstration of use of different flow meter & its comparisons. 4.Determination of coefficient of discharge for flow meters. 5.Comparison of pressure drops across venturimeter & Orifice meter.

System Components:
