The apparatus consists of a pipeline containing a rotameter. By operating the valves the flow can be regulated to get different flow rates. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump. 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.

Experiments

• To determine the co-efficient of discharged through rotameter.
• To measure discharge through rotameter as flow meters

Utilities Required
