Flow Measurement Methods Test System

The Flow Measurement Methods Test System, manufactured and supplied by Atto Labware India, is designed to provide practical experience in the fundamental principles of fluid flow measurement based on the Bernoulli equation. This system allows students to experimentally determine the discharge coefficients ( $C_d$ ) and compare the operational characteristics of differential pressure devices (Venturi and Orifice) against a direct-reading Rotameter. This apparatus is crucial for Civil, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering laboratories.

Educational Objectives

Students and researchers will be able to:

Understand the principle of flow measurement based on the Bernoulli equation and the conversion of static pressure to velocity.
Determine the Discharge Coefficient ( $C_d$ ) for both the Venturi meter and the Orifice plate.
Compare the pressure drop characteristics and energy loss across the Venturi and Orifice plate.
Understand the working principle and calibration of a Rotameter.
Compare the accuracy and applicability of the three primary flow measurement devices under different flow rates.

Performance Measurement

Measurement of Manometric Differential Pressure $\Delta H$ ) across the Venturi and Orifice plate.
Direct reading of flow rate from the Rotameter for calibration comparison.
Calculation of Theoretical Flow Rate ( $Q_{th}$ ) and Actual Flow Rate ( $Q_{act}$ ) (using a volumetric tank).
Calculation of the Discharge Coefficient ( $C_d$ ) using the relationship: $Q_{act} = C_d \cdot Q_{th}$ .

Panel and Instruments / Components

Test Section Modules: Clear acrylic modules containing the Venturi Meter, Orifice Plate, and Rotameter in series or parallel circuit.
Multi-tube Manometer Bank: For accurately measuring the small pressure differentials ( $\Delta H$ ).
Hydraulic Bench/Volumetric Tank (SS): Integrated for collecting and precisely measuring the Actual Flow Rate ( $Q_{act}$ ) over time.
Centrifugal Pump: Provides fluid circulation in the closed-loop system.
Control Valve: Regulates the flow rate through the system.
