Flow Measurement Devices Experiment

It also shows applications of bernoulli s equation.

Flow measurement devices experiment.

The three flow meters involved in the experiment are orifice flow meter magnetic flow meter and coriolis flow meter. The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a. 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. Flow rate measurement devices frequently require accurate pressure and temperature measurements in order to calculate the output of the instrument.

The selection of the proper instrument for a particular application is governed by many variables including cost. Blood flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket. By doing this experiment the flow rates of the water we will measure the flow rates by comparing the pressure different in three types of flow meter which are orifice rotameter and venturi meter. Students measure flow using a venturi meter an orifice plate meter and a rotameter.

Meanwhile the loss coefficient can be determined when fluid flows through a 90 elbow by measuring flow rate on manometers. Tecquipment s flow measurement apparatus shows the typical methods of measuring the flow of an essentially incompressible fluid water. Each of these meters operates on the similar principle. Bernoulli s equation works for each meter.

Introduction the orifice meter the nozzle meter and the venturi meter are the most common devices used to measure the instantaneous flowrate.
