Aim of experiment

Measuring the fluid flow rate

Theory

A thorough laboratory facility is created by the basic hydraulics bench

and the different supplementary modules that are available, allowing for
a thorough mechanics of fluids laboratory. The hydraulics bench unit
provides the fundamental functions for the volumetric measurement and
pumping of the water supply, which are utilized in conjunction with all
other accessories and experiments.
The unit's working surface is made of fiberglass and has a recessed area
for mounting experiments. The system includes a volumetric
measurement tank and an integrating weir tank. The measurement tank
is stepped to make it possible to measure high and low flow rates
accurately. The flow can be conveniently read out using a level
indicator. A valve allows the measurement tank to empty into a
fiberglass sump tank. the overflow pipe

Procedure

1. Turn on the pump.

2. Set the stop watch to zero.

3. Close the valve at the bottom of the volumetric tank, wait until the

liquid reaches a value of 10 liters and at the same start the watch.
4. After the liquid reached a value of 20 liters stop the watch.

5. Read off and note the measurement time and the high value of

water in tank
