Flow meter Measurement Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9939
The flow meter measurement apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9939) compares three common flow meters: a Venturi meter, a variable area meter and an orifice plate, installed in series on a frame that stands on a hydraulics bench. Pressure tappings let students measure the head loss of each meter, and the bench tank is used to calibrate each one volumetrically. It is supplied by JaincoLab for flow measurement practicals in engineering colleges.
Specifications
The flow meter measurement apparatus has an eight-tube manometer bank of 0 to 440 mm range with manifold, air bleed valve and hand pump, a 20 mm orifice plate, a 2 to 20 litres/min variable area meter and a Venturi with 15 mm throat and 31.75 mm upstream pipe.

Experiments on the flow meter measurement apparatus
The flow meter measurement apparatus lets students calibrate the Venturi meter, orifice plate and variable area meter against volumetric flow on the hydraulics bench, compare their accuracy and measure the head loss each meter causes at several flow rates.
- Calibrating a Venturi meter and finding its discharge coefficient
- Calibrating an orifice plate meter
- Checking a variable area meter against volumetric flow
- Comparing the head loss across the three meters
- Flow measurement practicals for civil, mechanical and chemical engineering students
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers the support framework with the three meters in series, the flow control valve, the eight-tube manometer board with manifold, air bleed valve and hand pump, and the quick release bench fitting. A hydraulics bench is not included in the product data. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
MOQ, lead time and packing for the flow meter measurement apparatus are confirmed on each quotation for the quantity and delivery destination. Single units for an existing bench and complete sets for new laboratories are supplied, including export to Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia.
Frequently asked questions
Which flow meters are fitted?
A Venturi meter, a variable area meter and an orifice plate, installed in series so that their readings can be compared directly.
What are the Venturi dimensions?
The Venturi has a 15 mm throat, a 31.75 mm upstream pipe, a 21° inclusive upstream taper and a 14° inclusive downstream taper.
How is the flow measured for calibration?
The hydraulics bench supplies the water and its volumetric tank is used to calibrate each meter; the bench is quoted separately if needed.
