Apparatus for Porous Bed in Venturi Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14161

Overview

The Apparatus for Study of Porous Beds in Venturi Tubes is designed to investigate fluid behavior through Venturi sections and the effect of porous media on pressure and velocity distribution.
It demonstrates Bernoulli’s theorem, flow through convergent-divergent geometries, and head losses within porous beds of various grain sizes.

The unit features a transparent Venturi conduit with multiple pressure tapping points, enabling direct observation and precise measurement of static and total pressure distributions along the flow path.
Three interchangeable Venturi tubes, each containing different granular porous beds, allow comparative studies under various conditions.
The apparatus integrates with a Hydraulic Bench for controlled water flow and includes a Pitot tube for dynamic pressure measurement.
