INTRODUCTION :
Measurement of flow constitutes an essential part in all flow systems. The fluid flow in open channel definitely requires some system to measure the quantity of fluid passing through, Direct measurement of flow either gravimetric or volumetric is the most accurate method.
An apparatus for determination of co-efficient of discharge of orifices and mouthpieces consisting of a storage Tank, Collecting Tank, supply Tank and Pump (0.5HP) for lifting water. Control valves and measuring instruments like stop clock, scale X-Y coordinate measuring arrangement etc. will be provided.
- Set of orifices : 10mm. & 15mm.
- set of Mouthpiece : Dia. 10mm. L/D 2.5 and 4
BASIC SET-UP :
This is the basic module required by all the experimental setups.
1. STORAGE TANK - :
Made out of fibreglass for corrosion prevention suitably mounted on a sturdy frame support. Size 100cm x 70cm x 23cm (approx.)
2. COLLECTING TANK - :
Made out of fibreglass for corrosion resistance, mounted on the top frame of the storage tank. Size of the collecting Tank is 55cm. x 45cm. x 40cm. Capacity approx. 60 litres, fitted with drain valve 1” size piezo meter Tube with calibrated lits. Marking scale.
3. MONOBLOCK PUMP
Monoblock 1ph, ½ HP pump shall be provided with the setup which shall be mounted on the base plate. Necessary piping with by-pass valve and suction piping are provided. The connection for the test equipment is made by flexible Hose-pipe.
