Flow Measurement Test Rig
Overview
The Flow Measurement Test Rig is an essential fluid mechanics educational setup that enables students to study and analyze the working of various flow measurement devices under controlled laboratory conditions. It provides an opportunity to measure the flow rate of fluids using different instruments such as the venturi meter, orifice meter, and rotameter, making it highly suitable for hydraulic and fluid mechanics laboratories.
By performing structured experiments, learners can gain a deeper understanding of the principles of fluid flow measurement, head losses, coefficient of discharge, and calibration of flow meters. This apparatus is widely used in I.T.I., engineering colleges, universities, and research centers, where practical training is as important as theoretical knowledge.
Product Description
The flow measurement apparatus is carefully designed with precision flow meters, measuring instruments, and a closed water circulation system. It is constructed on a powder-coated rigid frame with a sump tank, centrifugal pump, and measuring tank to provide uninterrupted operation.
The trainer includes different flow measuring devices such as a venturi meter, orifice plate, and rotameter installed in the pipeline section. Manometers are fitted at suitable points to measure pressure drop, enabling students to calculate discharge rates, energy losses, and efficiency of each device.
This flow measurement test rig offers flexibility in experiments, allowing learners to compare the performance of different flow meters and understand their applications in real-world hydraulic systems. The apparatus is durable, easy to operate, and designed for repeated academic use, making it an indispensable piece of fluid mechanics laboratory equipment.
