Orifice and Free Jet Flow
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9953
The Orifice and Free Jet Flow accessory (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9953) is used on a hydraulics bench to study flow from a small orifice and the path of the free jet it produces. A constant head tank fed from the bench discharges through an orifice in its base, and adjustable pointers trace the jet trajectory. JaincoLab supplies this orifice and free jet flow unit to engineering colleges and polytechnics for fluid mechanics practicals.
Specifications
The source data describe a constant head tank with two interchangeable orifices fitted flush to the inside surface, an adjustable overflow with level scale, adjustable pointers to trace the jet and a quick-release bench connection; orifice diameters and head range are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the orifice and free jet flow unit
The orifice and free jet flow unit lets students measure the discharge from an orifice under a steady head and plot the path of the jet, from which the coefficients of velocity and discharge are worked out in fluid mechanics practicals.
- Measuring and plotting the trajectory of a free jet
- Determining the coefficient of velocity from the jet path
- Determining the coefficient of discharge of each orifice under constant head
- Fluid mechanics practicals on a hydraulics bench in engineering colleges and polytechnics

Frequently asked questions
How many orifices are supplied?
Two interchangeable orifices, each fitted flush to the inside surface of the tank base.
How is the head kept constant?
By an adjustable overflow; the head is shown on a level scale.
Does it need a hydraulics bench?
Yes. The constant head tank is fed from a hydraulics bench through a quick-release fitting; the bench is quoted separately.
