Fluid Tech Report Flowmeter

This report describes an experiment to measure flow rates using three types of flowmeters: rotameter, venturi meter, and orifice meter. A rotameter consists of a float that rises in a vertical tube as fluid flows. A venturi meter measures flow by reducing the cross-sectional area to create pressure differences. An orifice is an opening that creates a pressure drop to measure flow. The experiment aims to distinguish between these flowmeters by taking manometer readings and performing calculations to determine discharge rates. The results, discussion, and conclusions are not yet included pending data collection and analysis.

Objective :
1. To obtain the flow rate measurement by utilizing three basic types of flow measuring
techniques; rotameter, venturi meter and orifice meter.

Abstract :
Types of flowmeter are rotameter, venturimeter and orifice meter. The rotameter consists
of a vertically oriented tube with a larger end at the top, and a metering float which is free
to move within the tube. Fluid flow causes the float to rise in the tube as the upward
pressure differential and buoyancy of the fluid overcome the effect of gravity. For the
venturimeter, the fluid flowrate is measured by reducing the cross sectional area in the
flow path, generating a pressure difference. An orifice is the opening in the wall of a tank or
in a plate. It is a restriction to create a pressure drop. These types of flowmeter perform in
different ways, so it is possible to distinguish between them using experimental tests to
calculate the discharge of flowrate.
