DESCRIPTION:-
A Pitot Tube is used to measure the local velocity at a given point in the flow stream. A pitot tube of standard design made of copper/SS is supplied and is fixed below vernier scale. The vernier scale is capable to measure the position of Pitot Tube in transparent section. The pipe has a flow control valve to regulate the flow. An differential water manometer is provided to determine the velocity head. Present set-up is selfcontained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of variable area flow meter. The well-structured instruction manual is provided along with apparatus.
EXPERIMENTS:-
Ø To find the point velocity at the center of a tube for different flow rates of water and calibrate the Pitot Tube.
Ø To plot velocity profile across the cross section of pipe.
Ø Tank is of Stainless steel 304
