Flow Measurement — MOE Lab Tender Details

Flow Measurement

Shows typical methods of measuring the flow of an incompressible fluid, and demonstrates applications of Bernoulli’s equation

Experiments
Study of Bernoulli’s equation, flow measurement and losses, including:
Application of the Bernoulli equation for incompressible fluids
Direct comparison of flow measurement using a Venturi meter, orifice plate and rotameter
Comparison of pressure drops across each flow measurement device
Comparison of pressure drops across a sudden enlargement and a 90-degree elbow
