VENTURIMETER & ORIFICEMETER CALIBRATION SET-UP

The apparatus consists of two pipelines emerging out from a common manifold. One pipeline contains a Venturimeter, second contains an Orifice. The pressure tapings from the Venturimeter and Orificemeter are taken to differential manometer to measure pressure difference.The Venturimeter and Orificemeter are connected in parallel and anyone of them can be put in operation by operating valves provided at the downstream.These valves can also regulate the flow. Present Set-up is self contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rate. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and Stop watch. Experiments * To determine the Co-efficient of discharged through Venturimeter and Orificemeter * To measure discharge through Venturimeter and Orificemeter as flow meters.
