BERNOULLI’S THEOREM
DEMONSTRATION
MODEL: FM 24
HIS Bernoulli’s Theorem Demonstration (Model: FM 24) apparatus consists of a classical Venturi
T made of clear acrylic. A series of wall tappings allow measurement of the static pressure distribution
along the converging duct, while a total head tube is provided to traverse along the centre line of the
test section. These tappings are connected to a manometer bank incorporating a manifold with air bleed valve.
This unit has been designed to be used with a This test section can be used to demonstrate those
Hydraulics Bench for students to study the circumstances to which Bernoulli’s Theorem may be

fed through a hose connector and students may control
the flowrate of the water by adjusting a flow regulator
valve at the outlet of the test section. EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
♦ Bernoulli’s Theorem and its limitations
The venturi can be demonstrated as a means of flow
♦ Measurements of the static and total head
measurement and the discharge coefficient can be
distribution along a Venturi tube
determined.
♦ Meter coefficient at various flow rates
