Discharge Through Venturimeter and Orificemeter
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9920
The Discharge Through Venturimeter and Orificemeter apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9920) compares two common flow meters on one recirculating bench. JaincoLab manufactures this venturimeter and orificemeter apparatus for fluid mechanics practicals in civil and mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics, where students read the pressure difference across each meter on a differential manometer, measure the actual flow with a tank and stopwatch and calculate the coefficient of discharge.
Specifications
Two pipelines leave a common manifold, one carrying a venturimeter and the other an orifice meter, connected in parallel and selected by downstream valves; their pressure tappings lead to a differential manometer, and a sump tank, centrifugal pump, flow control and bypass valves complete the recirculating circuit.

Applications of the venturimeter and orificemeter apparatus
The venturimeter and orificemeter apparatus is used to calibrate both meters against a measured flow and to compare how they behave as flow meters, which makes it a core flow measurement practical in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories.
- Determining the coefficient of discharge of a venturimeter
- Determining the coefficient of discharge of an orifice meter
- Demonstrating the use of the venturimeter and orifice meter as flow meters
- Fluid mechanics practicals in B.E./B.Tech civil and mechanical engineering and diploma courses

Frequently asked questions
Can both meters be tested on one unit?
Yes. The venturimeter and orifice meter are in parallel pipelines and either one is put into operation with the downstream valves.
How is the pressure difference measured?
The pressure tappings of both meters are connected to a differential manometer.
What utilities are needed?
A single-phase 220 V AC, 50 Hz supply with an earthed 5-15 A socket, water for the initial fill, a floor drain and 1.5 x 0.75 m of floor area.
