Objective :

To demonstration of the operation and characteristic of three different basic types of flowmeter

To determination of the loss coefficient when fluid flows through a 90 degree elbow

Abstract :

Flow Meter Measurement Apparatus is designed to operate together with a basic hydraulic bench or any
water supply. This is to shown different types of methods of flow measurement of an incompressible
fluid. This instrument is able to demonstrate the flow measurement comparison by using orifice, venture
and rotameter. In this experiment the fluid in motion is flow through different types of flow path.
Different path gives out different pressure, velocity and types of flow which are turbulent and laminar.
On each types of path there are different pressure drop produces, thus this apparatus is conducted in

order to obtain the exact properties of fluid flow in motion.
