Objective
3. Hand valves: used to select the flowmeter for measuring the water flow during the
experiment, which is collected in a calibration tank T-505.
4. volumetric flowrate over time is checked against the volumetric scale on the
calibration tank : to compare the accuracy of each type of flowmeter.
9. Industrial Application
11. Safety: Lab coat, long pant, proper shoes, face mask
12. Open the valve to vacate the calibration tank so that it is back to the general level
again for the next reading
13. Valve with calibration tank (closed) to the water to rise in this calibration tank
14. (open) it will come to zero agn
16. Stop the pump, close the valves, switch off the equipment
Flow meter accuracy is how close the measurement is to the true value
A flow meter is a device that measures the flow rate of a fluid. Flow meters are flow
measuring instruments used to measure the linear, nonlinear, mass, or volumetric flow
rate of a gas or a liquid.
Accurate flow measurements of gases and liquids are required for the better control and
quality of industrial processes.
An Orifice Meter is basically a type of flow meter used to measure the rate of flow
of Liquid or Gas, especially Steam, using the Differential Pressure Measurement
principle. It is mainly used for robust applications as it is known for its durability and
is very economical.
