Orifice Discharge Apparatus - Orifice is a simple device used to measure fluid flow in pipes..
The Orifice Discharge Apparatus
has been designed to enable students to determine the co-efficient of
discharge of sharp edged orifice and nozzles. It consists of a
vertically mounted cylindrical transparent plastic water tank. Water is
supplied from the hydraulic bench or any closed circuit controlled
water supply system. The orifice is fitted in the base of the tank
using special fittings flush with the inside surface. The head above
the orifice is maintained constant using adjustable overflow pipe and
the level is indicated by the level scale.
The flow rate through the orifice can be varied by adjusting
the level of the overflow pipe suitably and hence the head over the
orifice. Water emerging from the orifice is collected in the measuring
tank of the hydraulic bench to make actual discharge measurements. A
pitot tube with a traversing device is provided to measure the jet
diameter and locate the vena contracta to enable determination of
contraction co-efficient. The pitot head and the total head over the
orifice is measured using manometer tubes fixed adjacent to the tank. A
set of four nozzles is also provided in addition to the sharp edged
orifice to study the effect of geometry on the co-efficient of
discharge.
The Orifice Discharge Apparatus is designed to
fit into the FM00 Hydraulic Bench or any other standard hydraulic
bench models. Adjustable feet are provided to permit accurate leveling
of the equipment before use. The complete unit is manufactured from
corrosion resistant materials.
OPTION:
Computer Based Learning Software is included to enable students
understand and conduct experiments, tabulate results and plot graphs.
