Fluid Science Flow Measurement

Utilising the service unit the flow meters experiment rapidly mounts onto the multi functional work panel and is connected to the built-in water supply via quick connect couplings. Differential pressure reading is taken using a digital manometer against varying flow rates.
Combined with the Fluid Science Service Unit, the Fluid Science Flow Measurement Tray, provide shands on experimentation designed to demonstrate flow measurement and the relationship between velocity and pressure drop.

Thetray includes the following flow meters:
Orifice plate The use of anorifice plate to measure flow is demonstrated by measuring the pressure dropacross a defined orifice. The geometry of the orifice is in accordance with standard industrial orifice flow meters.
Venturi Meter : Used to demonstrate Bernoull is equation, showing how low pressure is generated in the throat of aventure tube, and how this is affected by flow. Thegeometry of the venturi orifice is in accordance with standard industrial venturi flow meters, so the use of a venturi to measure flow can also bedemonstrated. The flow recovery is also demonstrated by measuring the total pressure drop across the module.

Fluid Science Manometer Inclined

The experiments are supplied with a highly visualuser-friendly operational guide, allowing the students to understand the theoryof the subject by the application of practical experimentation.
The high precision elements are supplied as modulartray-based systems which operate in conjunction with the Fluid Science serviceunit, multifunctional work panel and instrumentation enabling the student toconduct their own individual or group experiments.
The Fluid Science Inclined Manometer tray includesexperiments to measure small pressure differences and the effect of change inmanometer inclination.
The tray additionally includes a stepped manometerthat incorporates changes in cross section to demonstrate that the level of afree surface is not affected by the size or the shape of the tube.
