Features:

1. Compact, comprehensive, sturdy design

2. Fully instrumentation for experimentation of Orifice-meter, Venturi-meter & Rota-meter.

3. Comprehensive teaching package as optional attachments

Tesca Orifice-meter, Venturi-meter & Rota- meter set up is a self-sufficient unit to study the characteristics of Orifice meter, Venturi-meter & Rota-meter. The calibration of these meters can be studied by comparing them with actual flow measured in measuring tanks. The orifice & Venturi is made of clear acrylic material to understand its operation phenomenon. The Venturimeter & Orifice meter is mounted in such a fashion that at a time we can select one of them & conduct the experiment. Rotameter is placed in the supply line of the pump to the operating table. Pressure tappings are provided at appropriate locations for measurement of differential pressure with a Mercury U tube manometer. Variable flow can be achieved for various reading sets. For the particular flow, we can compare the reading.

The Test setup of the Trainer can be used along with the Hydraulic Bench (FLM001) if ordered as FLM008SU. The test setup system will be supplied with an orifice meter, venturi meter, rotameter, Base for these units, and all essential accessories.
