Discharge Through Venturimeter, Orificemeter & Rotameter Apparatus

The apparatus consists of three pipe lines emerging out from a common manifold. All three pipe line has been installed with a test section. One has venturi meter, second has an orifice meter and third one is having arotameter. The Venturi meter, Orifice meter and Rotameter are connected in parallel and any one of them can be put in operation by operating valves provided at the downstream. Pressure taping from venturi meter and orifice meter are taken out to pressurized differential pressure manometer. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank, centrifugal pump etc. Water is pumped by means of centrifugal pump and passing through the test sections, it returns back to the sump which make the system re-circulating type. Flow of wateris 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 in water 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.
