Flow Meter Calibration — MOE Lab Tender Details

Flow Meter Calibration

A compact unit that compares and shows the accuracy, losses and use of fundamental flow meters

Experiments
Accuracy of nozzle flow meters
Losses and k value
Calculation of the coefficient of discharge

Specifications
A precision engineered painted aluminium base plate with a vertical aluminium manometer board with four water-filled manometers
Scale range 0-500mm
Manometer board includes a glass manifold with one-way valve and hand pump for pressurizing the manometers
Pressure measurement connections at manometer 2 and 3 are self-sealing push fit quick connectors
Straight pipe (included) to give a comparison of the true pressure losses caused by the flow meters
Internal shape of the inlet and outlet adaptors is a gradual expension and a gradual contraction respectively, to reduce unwanted flow disturbances
Gate type flow control valve at the outlet to control the flow downstream of the flow meters
Maximum inlet pressure 2 bar
Maximum flow through flow meters 50 L.min-1
Nozzle Flow Meter supplied as standard
Machined out of a cylindrical aluminium block
Includes an ISA1932 nozzle with 34mm diameter inlet pipe and 22mm diameter throat
Includes two pressure tappings, one upstream at the throat, one downstream in the non-turbulent void between the nozzle outlet and the pipe wall
Nett dimensions: 750 mm high x 900 mm long x 300 mm front to back, 9 kg
