Flow Measurement Devices Experiment

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 measurement devices experiment.

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. Tecquipment s flow measurement apparatus shows the typical methods of measuring the flow of an essentially incompressible fluid water. Experiment of flow measurement methods 1. 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.

Blood flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket. Flow rate measurement devices frequently require accurate pressure and temperature measurements in order to calculate the output of the instrument. Bernoulli s equation works for each meter. Each of these meters operates on the similar principle.

Meanwhile the loss coefficient can be determined when fluid flows through a 90 elbow by measuring flow rate on manometers. It also shows applications of bernoulli s equation. The three flow meters involved in the experiment are orifice flow meter magnetic flow meter and coriolis flow meter. Students measure flow using a venturi meter an orifice plate meter and a rotameter.

The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a.
