Cavitation Apparatus
- The consists of a high discharge 5HP
monoblock centrifugal pump (440 Volts, 3 Phase) pumping water from an MS
tank of 400 liters capacity through an orificemeter, a transparent
venturimeter and suitable flow control valve back into the tank in a
closed circuit form.
- The venturimeter is machined from a
solid acrylic block and is provided with pressure taps at the inlet and
throat sections. When the flow rate is increased the static pressure at
its throat is decreased and when this equals the vapour pressure,
cavitation begins. At this point, visual observation of the inception
and growth of the cavitation accompanied by the rattling noise can be
observed at the transparent throat.
- A pressure gauge and compound gauge is
provided to measure the pressure at the inlet and throat of the
venturimeter during cavitation. A set of pressure gauges are also
provided for the orificemeter to measure the flow rate. Other
accessories include switch, starter for the pump and suitable piping and
regulating valve.
- All tanks are provided with FRP lining for total rust protection
