The objective of this equipment is the study and comparison of some of the different types of existing flow-meters.
The system includes several representative flow gauges such as a Venturi tube, a rotameter, a diaphragm, a globe valve and a Pitot tube placed in series to allow a direct comparison of results.
By doing some of the practices proposed, it is possible to understand the nature of fluids and the laws of statics, dynamics and thermodynamics.
It is also possible to easily observe general principles such as the laws of mass and energy conservation.
With help of a regulating valve it is possible to adjust the flow rate according to the needs of practice.
The results are displayed in the water column manometer and the supplied electronic differential gauge.
Through these pressure gauges students can work with data taken from different strategic points of the piping.
