flowmeter.
Theory:Equipment:In order to complete the demonstration we need a number of pieces of equipment.
The Hydraulics Bench which allows us to measure flow by timed volume
collection.
The Flow Meter Apparatus
A stopwatch to allow us to determine the flow rate of water.
Apparatus Diagram:-
is the
tapered
vertical tube through which fluid flow upward. Within the tube is
placed a freely suspended float of pump bob shape. The float rests on a
stop at the bottom end when there is no flow. The float rises until upward as it
commences and buoyancy forces on it are balanced by its weight. If the
rate of flow is small the float rises only a short distance and vice versa.
Venturimeter:-
machined. This is
to close tolerances to duplicate the performance of the standard design. The venturimeter are
Manometer:- An instrument for measuring the pressure acting on a column of fluid, consisting
of a U-shaped tube of liquid in which a difference in the pressures acting in the two arms of the
tube causes the liquid to reach different heights in the two arms.

PROCEDURE:Equipment set up
1. Check all the clamps for tightness.
2. Check whether the water level in the tank is sufficient such that the suction pipe
of pump is completely immersed.
3. For measurement through Venturi, open the outlet valve of the Venturi meter and
close the valve of orifice meter.
4. For a good amount of variation in discharge also close the by-pass valve of pump.
