Introduction :
The function of variable area flow meter is measures
fluid flow by allowing the cross-sectional area of the
device to vary in response to the flow, causing some
measurable effect that indicates the rate. Rotameters
an example of a variable area meter, where a
weighted “float" rises in a tapered tube as the flow
rate increases; the float stops rising when area
between float and tube is large enough that the
weight of the float is balanced by the drag of fluid
flow. Another type is a variable area orifice, where a
spring-loaded tapered plunger is deflected by flow
through an orifice. The displacement can be related
to the flow rate. In a meantime, Differential pressure
flow meters are also known as Head type
flowmeters. They are the most prevalent type of
flow meters in use today. It has been projected that
more than 50 percent of all liquid flow measurement
applications make use of this type of unit. The basic
Working principle of differential pressure flow
meters is based upon the Bernoulli’s Equation
Object:
1)To compare flow measurement by three different flow
meters.

2) To conduct the experiment on Level Control System

for Set Value Test and Load Disturbance Test manually.

3) To study the single loop for flow control. We conduct

the experiment by using manual control and automatic
control.

4) To study the behavior of the P, I and D mode towards

the process response curve for the flow control system.

5) To gain fundamental concept of the Process Control

system mainly the open loop control system based on the
experiment.

6) to study single loop flow control in PID and PID single

loop control using derivatives mode
