Flow Measurement Devices Experiment

The selection of the proper instrument for a particular application is governed by many variables including cost.

Flow measurement devices experiment.

Each of these meters operates on the similar principle. Students measure flow using a venturi meter an orifice plate meter and a rotameter. It also shows applications of bernoulli s equation. Introduction the orifice meter the nozzle meter and the venturi meter are the most common devices used to measure the instantaneous flowrate.

The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a. The three flow meters involved in the experiment are orifice flow meter magnetic flow meter and coriolis flow meter. Because they are used for domestic water measurement piston meters also known as rotary piston or semi positive displacement meters are the most common flow measurement devices in the uk and are used for almost all meter sizes up to and including 40 mm 1 1 2 in. Experiment of flow measurement methods 1.

As the flow area in a pipe decreases the flow velocity that is accompanied by a decrease in. Flow rate measurement devices frequently require accurate pressure and temperature measurements in order to calculate the output of the instrument. The experiment of flow meter measurement is conducted to introduce the students to the three different types of commonly used flow meter in the industry. Bernoulli s equation works for each meter.

Meanwhile the loss coefficient can be determined when fluid flows through a 90 elbow by measuring flow rate on manometers.
