SPECIFICATION

Key Features
• International Standards Compliance: Manufactured according to the standards set by the USA, UK, Japan, and Switzerland to ensure precision and reliability.
• Demonstration of Bernoulli’s Equation: The apparatus demonstrates the application of Bernoulli's equation, showing how pressure, velocity, and height interact in fluid flow for incompressible fluids like water.
• Multiple Flow Measurement Devices:
   • Venturi Meter
   • Orifice Plate Meter
   • Rotameter (Gap-type flow meter)

• Pressure Distribution Measurement: Manometers are connected to pressure tappings along the pipework to display the pressure distribution, providing valuable data for analyzing fluid dynamics.
• Losses Due to Rapid Enlargement and Elbow: The apparatus enables the measurement of flow losses across a sudden enlargement and a 90-degree elbow, crucial for studying real-world fluid transport systems.
• Horizontal Pipe Setup: The apparatus features a horizontal pipe that incorporates the Venturi meter, orifice plate, and pressure tappings, all connected to a rotameter and flow control valve.
• Integrated Water Flow System: Water is supplied from a digital hydraulic bench, flowing through each measurement device in sequence, allowing for controlled experiments on flow characteristics.
• Adjustable Manometer Datum Level: A hand-pump is included to adjust the water level in the manometer tubes, ensuring accurate pressure measurements during experimentation
