Computerized Flow Meter

• Cost-effective and simple to use
• flow meter adaptors and pressure connections
• Multi-tube manometer to show flow meter and overall pressure changes
• Optional flow meters for comparison: Venturi, orifice, nozzle and Pitot tube
• Shows the boundary layer effect and the fluid velocity profile - needs Pitot tube 
• Includes hand-pump and manifold with air valve for increased measurement range
• Works with Gravimetric or Volumetric Hydraulic Benches for easy installation.

The Flow Meter Calibration apparatus is for use by all kinds of engineering students. It compares and shows the accuracy and use of the optional fundamental flow meters. Any of the optional flow meters quickly and easily fit into place between the adaptors in the base unit of the apparatus. Four water-filled manometers show the pressure differences at the flow meter and across the overall flow meter assembly. The manometers have a common manifold fitted with an air valve. Students use the handpump (included) to increase the air pressure in the manifold. This offsets the manometer measurement (adjusts the datum).The straight pipe (included) gives a comparison of the true pressure losses caused by the flow meters.The optional Pitot Tube Flow Meter will also show the velocity profile in a pipe. This helps to explain the boundary layer and surface friction in pipes and flow channels.Note: You must order at least one of the optional flow meters to use with the Flow Meter Calibration apparatus.
