Orifice and Free Jet Velocity Apparatus Fluids Mechanics Lab Equipment Vocational Training Equipment

ZM8147 Orifice and Free Jet Velocity Apparatus Fluids Mechanics Lab Equipment Vocational Training Equipment

Purpose – To enable students to demonstrate calibration of two orifices of differing diameter and enables them to plot the trajectory of the jet.

ORDERING SPECIFICATION

• Constant head tank with two interchangeable orifices
• Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench
• Jet trajectory measured and plotted using adjustable pointers

This equipment permits calibration of two orifices of differing diameter.

MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES

• Establishing the coefficient of velocity for a small orifice
• Finding experimentally the coefficient of discharge for a small orifice with flow under constant head and flow under varying head
• Comparing the measured trajectory of a jet with that  predicted by simple theory of mechanics

TECHNICAL DETAIL

• Orifice diameters: 3.0mm and 6.0mm
• Jet trajectory probes: 8

Max. constant head: 410mm
