Pitot Static Tube Apparatus Model FM 52

Features

• Pitot Tube: Material Copper/SS of compatible size
• Test Section
• Fitted with Vernier Scale

o    Material Clear Acrylic.

Sci-tech Pitot Static Tube Apparatus Model FM 52 is used to measure the local velocity at a given point in the flow stress. A pitot tube of standard design made of copper/SS is supplied and is fixed below Vernier scale. The Vernier scale is capable to measure the position of Pitot Tube in transparent pipe section. The pipe has a flow control valve to regulate the flow. A U-tube manometer is provided to determine the velocity head. Set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided by Sci-tech as ‘Hydraulic Bench Model FM 100, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stopwatch.

Technical Specifications
