Students measure flow using a venturi meter an orifice plate meter and a rotameter.
Flow measurement devices experiment.
As the flow area in a pipe decreases the flow velocity that is accompanied by a decrease in.
Tecquipment s flow measurement apparatus shows the typical methods of measuring the flow of an essentially incompressible fluid water.
Introduction the orifice meter the nozzle meter and the venturi meter are the most common devices used to measure the instantaneous flowrate.
Because they are used for domestic water measurement piston meters also known as rotary piston or semi positive displacement meters are the most common flow measurement devices in the uk and are used for almost all meter sizes up to and including 40 mm 1 1 2 in.
The experiment of flow meter measurement is conducted to introduce the students to the three different types of commonly used flow meter in the industry.
The three flow meters involved in the experiment are orifice flow meter magnetic flow meter and coriolis flow meter.
Bernoulli s equation works for each meter.
Each of these meters operates on the similar principle.
Meanwhile the loss coefficient can be determined when fluid flows through a 90 elbow by measuring flow rate on manometers.
Experiment of flow measurement methods 1.
Flow rate measurement devices frequently require accurate pressure and temperature measurements in order to calculate the output of the instrument.
Blood flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket.
It also shows applications of bernoulli s equation.
