Discharge Through Venturimeter Apparatus

The apparatus consists of a pipe line in which a transparent venturi meter is installed. The pressure tapings from the venturi meter is taken to pressurized differential pressure manometer to measure pressure difference. Present set-up is self-contained water recirculating unit, provided with a sump tank, centrifugal pump etc. Water is pumped by means of centrifugal pump and passing through the test section, it returns back to the sump which make the system re-circulating type. Flow of water is diverted either to measuring tank or sump tank with the means of a flow diverter, when needed. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted inwater line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank with piezometer and stopwatch.
