Model:C9
Use:Flow Meter Demonstration Unit
The pressure drop across each of the flow meters can be measured by using either the one-metre pressurised water manometer or the 0.5-metre mercury manometer supplied.
Ported manometer connection valves ensure rapid bleeding of all manometer pipework. A facility exists to admit air into the hydraulic stream
In addition to being a valuable teaching aid, the apparatus brings to the laboratory a selection of instruments that can be used to support student project work. A full set of instructions is provided, including details for testing and comparison of flow meters.
