Description
Technical Catalogue: Venture Meter Apparatus
- Equipment Description
This equipment is a self-contained, closed-circuit benchtop trainer designed for fluid mechanics laboratories. It provides students with a practical demonstration of Bernoulli’s Theorem and mass continuity by forcing fluid through a known piping restriction to create a predictable drop in static head pressure.
- Features & Component Breakdown
- Vibrant Mounted Test Panel: Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant PVC/powder-coated backing board configured specifically for structural stability on a standard hydraulic laboratory bench.
- Transparent Acrylic Venturi Tube: Manufactured from highly polished clear acrylic blocks to allow full visibility of internal fluid boundaries, flow patterns, and cavitation lines.
- Integrated Tube Manometer Board: Centralized dual/multi-tube liquid vertical manometer panel complete with graduated scaling to monitor pressure differentials (Δ h) across the upstream contraction and constricted throat sections.
- Flow Control Distribution System: Robust dark PVC piping system fitted across the lower base section featuring isolating distribution lines and an output control valve to precisely vary global fluid discharge speeds.
