Flow Meter Demonstration
- Venturi meter, variable area meter and orifice plate with control valve
- Pressure tappings to measure head loss from each meter
- Supplied with manometer board with eight tubes
- Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench
- Educational Software available as an option
Description:
- The equipment consists of a Venturi
meter, variable area meter and orifice plate, installed in a series
configuration to permit direct comparison. A flow control valve permits
variation of the flow rate through the circuit.
- Pressure tappings are incorporated so
that the head loss characteristics of each flow meter may be measured.
These tappings are connected to an eight tube manometer bank
incorporating a manifold with air bleed valve. Pressurisation of the
manometers is facilitated by a hand pump.
- The circuit and manometer are attached
to a support framework which stands on the working top of the Hydraulics
Bench. The bench is used as the source of water supply and for
calibrating volumetrically each flow meter.
