Flow Characteristics

Fluid:
Turbulent Flow particles move in Highly Irregular Paths, causing an
Exchange of Momentum from one portion of the fluid to
another, in a manner somewhat similar to the Molecular
Momentum Transfer, but on much larger scale.

Most prevalent situation in engineering practices.

Orifice Meter

Orifice Meter : A device used to measure the rate of flow of fluid through a pi

Principle of Operation :

C/s Area Pr Q

Advantages :

1. Cheaper than Venturi Meter.

2. Smaller length reqd. for Installation.

Preferred for Space Constraints!!

Orifice Meter
Flat circular plate with a concentric circular hole, known as Orific

Taper of the plate, between 30 to 45 , Preferred 45 .!!!

Thk, t 0.05 pipe

Orifice Plate, clamped between 2 pipe flanges, with beveled surfaces, facing downstream.

Orifice Meter
orifice = 02 085 of pipe , preferred 0.5

Upstream Pr. Tap : @ 0.9 1.1 of pipe

orifice
Downstream Pr. Tap :
pipe

orifice < pipe C/s Area

Velo.

Downstream Pr. Tap : @ smallest C/s Area of flow.


Vena Contracta!
Velomax Prmin Pmax bet. sections 1 & 2!!

Limitation : Abrupt Change in C/s Area Losses, compared to Venturi Meter!!
