A Pitot tube is used to measure the local velocity at a given point in the flow stress. A Pitot tube of standard design made of copper/Stainless Steel is supplied and is fixed below a vernier scale. The vernier scale is capable to measure the position of Pitot tube in transparent pipe section. The pipe has a flow control valve to regulate the flow. A manometer is provided to determine the velocity head.

RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS

• To find the point velocity at the center of a tube for different flow rates of meter and calibrate the pitot tube
• To find the co-efficient of Pitot tube
• To study the flow distribution in a pipe and estimate the ratio of average velocity to maximum velocity at the center of pipe for different flow rates
• To plot velocity profile across the cross section of pipe for different Reynold’s number.

FEATURES

• Clear Acrylic test section
• Superb Painted structure
• Simple to operate & maintain

UTILITIES REQUIRED

• Hydraulic Bench.
• Water Supply & Drain
• Electricity 1 kW, 220V AC, Single Phase
• Floor Area 1.5 x 1.5
