Orificemeter Discharge (Hb Accessory) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CELE-14033
This equipment is a self-contained, water recirculating
unit designed to study and calibrate the Orifice Meter, a
differential pressure device used to measure flow rate in a pipeline. The
experiment involves measuring the pressure drop across the orifice and
comparing it to the actual volumetric flow rate.
1. Key Components and Design
The apparatus is built around a single pipeline containing
the orifice plate.
- Orifice
Meter: The primary flow sensing element.
- Orifice
Plate: Made of Stainless Steel.
- Housing: Made
of Clear Acrylic (transparent) and compatible with a 1 inch
Diameter Pipe.
- Pipeline
& Flow Control: A single pipeline emerges from a common
manifold.
- The
flow can be regulated by a valve provided in the line.
- Pressure
Measurement:
- Pressure
Tapings: Provided before and after the orifice plate.
- Device: A differential
manometer is used with the tapings to measure the pressure difference
Delta P created by the flow constriction.
2. Water Circulation and Flow Rate Measurement
The system uses a volumetric method for accurate flow
measurement, which serves as the reference standard.
- Water
Circulation: Provided by an FHP Pump (Crompton make)
from the Sump Tank (Capacity 50 Liters).
- Flow
Rate Measurement (Actual Flow):
- Achieved
using a Measuring Tank with a Piezometer (Capacity 25
Liters).
- An Electronic
Stop Watch is used to measure the time for collection, calculating
the actual discharge Qactual.
- Structure: The
set-up is arranged in a good quality painted structure, and all
tanks are made of Stainless Steel.
3. Purpose and Experiments
The primary goal is the calibration of the orifice meter.
- Calibration:
Determine the Coefficient of Discharge Cd for the orifice meter by
comparing the measured actual flow rate Qactual with the theoretical flow
rate (calculated from the differential pressure).
- Head
Loss Study: Study the relationship between flow rate and the
permanent head loss caused by the orifice plate.
- Principle
Verification: Demonstrate the application of the Bernoulli
principle and the continuity equation in flow measurement.
