Description

Brand: Tecquipment

Model: H10

Country of Origin: United Kingdom

Manufacturer: United Kingdom

Features:

• Should show the typical methods of measuring the flow of an essentially incompressible fluid (water)
• It also should show applications of Bernoulli’s equation
• Students should be able to measure flow using a Venturi meter, an orifice plate meter and a rotameter
• Bernoulli’s equation should work for each meter
• Losses in a rapid enlargement and a 90-degree elbow to be found
• It should have a horizontal pipe that include a Venturi meter, orifice plate and pressure tappings
• An elbow should connect the pipe to a rotameter (gap-type flow meter) with further pressure tappings
• All pressure tappings should connect to manometers held on a vertical panel behind the pipe work
• The manometers should measure and show pressure distribution against a calibrated scale
• Water from a digital hydraulic bench should flow through the Venturi meter, through a sudden enlargement, a settling length and the orifice plate
• It then should flow around the elbow, through the rotameter, then a flow control valve, finally returning to the hydraulic bench
• The control valve should be downstream
• To adjust the datum water level in the manometer tubes, a hand-pump to be connected (should be included) to the valve above the manometer tubes

Experimental Capabilities:

• Application of the Bernoulli equation for incompressible fluids
• Direct comparison of flow measurement using a Venturi meter, orifice plate and rotameter
• Comparison of pressure drops across each flow measurement device
• Comparison of pressure drops across a sudden enlargement and a 90° elbow
