Sci-tech Venturi-meter Model FM40 for Education

Sci-tech Venturi-meter Model FM40 is self-sufficient unit to study the characteristics of Venturi-meter. The calibration of the meter can be study by comparing with actual flow measured in measuring tank. The Venturi is made of clear acrylic material to understand its operation phenomenon. Pressure tapings are provided at appropriate location for measurement of differential pressure with Mercury U tube manometer.

Variable flow can be achieved for various reading set. For the particular flow we can compare the reading.

The Test set up of the Trainer is integrated with the ‘Sci-tech’ Hydraulic Bench FM 100. The test set up system will be supplied with venture-meter.
