Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment

Product Details:

Technical Description: 

• A Pitot tube is used to measure the local velocity at a given point in the flow stress. A Pitot tube of standard design made of copper/Stainless Steel is supplied and is fixed below a vernier scale. The vernier scale is capable to measure the position of Pitot tube in transparent pipe section. The pipe has a flow control valve to regulate the flow.

 

Learning Objectives/Experiments:

• To find the point velocity at the center of a tube for different flow rates of water and calibrate the Pitot Tube.
• To plot velocity profile across the cross section of pipe

Required for Operation:

• Water supply Tap water connection
• Floor Area with Drain facility

Technical Specifications:

• Pitot Tube: Material Copper/SS of compatible size
• Hook/Pointer Gauge: With Vernier Scale
• Test Section: Material Clear Acrylic, compatible to 1” Dia. Pipe
• The whole set-up is ingeniously designed and schematically arranged on a powder-coated rigid structure

 

Control Panel:

• Standard make On/Off switch, Mains Indicator etc.

Scope of Delivery:

• 1 Self Contained "Pitot Tube Set Up" Apparatus
• 1 Instruction Manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc.

Product Details:

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.
