FLOW METERS MEASUREMENT & CALIBRATION TRAINER Model FM 50
FLOW METERS MEASUREMENT & CALIBRATION TRAINER Model FM 50
Sci-tech Flow Meter Measurements & Calibration Trainer Model FM 50 consists of a Venturi meter, variable area meter and an orifice flow meter and pitot tube, installed in series configuration to permit direct comparison. A flow control valve permits variation of the flow rate through the circuit. Pressure tapings are incorporated so that the head loss characteristics of each flow meter may be measured. These tapings are connected to a four or eight tube manometer bank incorporating a manifold with air bleed valve. Pressurization of the manometers is facilitated by a hand pump. The circuit and manometer are attached to a support framework which stands on ‘Sci-tech Hydraulic Bench FM 100F’. The Hydraulic Bench is used as the source of water supply and for calibrating volumetric flow of the meters.
Optionally, differential pressure sensors, electro-magnetic flow rate sensors also available
