Discharge Through Venturimeter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CELE-14001
This equipment is a self-contained water recirculating
unit designed to study and calibrate the Venturimeter, a device used
to measure the flow rate of fluid in a pipe by measuring the pressure drop
created by an accelerated flow through a constricted throat.1
1. Key Components and Design
The apparatus is centered around the Venturimeter, with
transparent components for easy observation.
- Venturimeter: Made
of Clear Acrylic (transparent) and is compatible with a 1 inch
Diameter Pipe. It is installed in a pipeline emerging from a common
manifold.
- Pressure
Measurement:
- Device: Differential
Pressure Manometer to accurately measure the pressure difference ($\Delta
P$) between the wide section (inlet) and the narrow section (throat) of
the meter.
- Valves: All
ball valves are specified with robust operating conditions:
- Operating
Temperature Range: -40°F to 302°F.
- Working
Pressure: In the range of 600 psi, with vacuum pressure
up to $2 \times 10^{-1}$ psi.
2. Water Circulation and Flow Measurement
The system uses a closed-loop system and a precise volumetric
method for validation.
- Water
Circulation: Provided by a 0.5 HP Pump (Crompton/Kirloskar
make).
- Sump
Tank: 50 Liters capacity, made of Stainless steel
304 grade (1.2 mm thick).
- Flow
Rate Measurement (Actual Flow): This accurate method is used
for calibration.
- Achieved
using a Measuring Tank with a Piezometer (25 Liters
capacity).
- Measuring
Tank Material: Stainless steel 304 grade (1.2 mm
thick).
- An Electronic
Stop Watch is provided to measure the time required to collect a
known volume, calculating the actual discharge (Q actual).
3. Purpose
The primary experiment is to verify the principle of the
Venturimeter based on the Bernoulli equation and to determine its Coefficient
of Discharge (Cd). This is achieved by comparing the actual flow rate
(measured volumetrically) with the theoretical flow rate (calculated
using the differential pressure reading).
