GROUP NO. 2 (CEE44) VENTURI METER RATING:

I. OBJECTIVE:
To determine the discharges and the discharge coefficient of a venturi
meter in a pipeline.

II. APPARATUS:
Hydraulic Lab Set Up
Graduated Cylinder
Stopwatch
Container
Manometer

III. PROCEDURE:
1. Fill the tank with water until establishing stationary head.
2. Open the valve in the pipeline with the venturi meter and regulate the rise
of mercury in the manometer.
3. Note the pressure differences in the manometer.
4. Catch the jet of the water from the discharge end of the pipe with a
container and timing it.
5. Compute the discharge coefficient basd on the theoretical and actual
discharges.

VII. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

In this experiment we determine the discharged coefficient of a venturi

meter in a pipeline by computing the discharged coefficient based on theoretical

and actual discharges. We start by filling the venturi meter with water and waited

for the water to be stabled then record the data needed. We measure the

differences in pressure using ruler directly in the manometer. And we get the

volume and velocity of discharged water by catching the water using a container

and getting the time using stopwatch. Repeating the same procedure for Trial 2.

Having the initial data gathered we can now then solve for the discharged

coefficient using Bernoullis Principle. That give us 0.354 and 0.465 discharged

coefficients for trials 1 and 2 which are less than 1.
