 EXPLANATION
What do you know about venturi
meter ???

Classical Vetituri meter design. (From B. S. 7405 (1991) Fig.

3.1.4, with permission of B.S.I.)
 VENTURIMETER PRINCIPLE

It is based on the principle of

Bernoullis equation.

Gambar 7.27 Moving fluid in the pipe that have different

height and large section. Fluid up from the height h1 to h2
with speed change from v1 to v2

 VENTURIMETER FUNCTION

The venture meter function is

used to measure the flow through a
pipeline.
THE MAIN PARTS AND AREAS OF VENTURI METER
 THE FUNCTION OF THE PARTS

- Convergent Section
- Inlet Section
- Inlet Cone Section
- Throat

- Divergent Section

- Outlite Cone
- Outlite Section
 HOW TO OPERATE
1. Regulate the inlet valve to allow a steady
flow through venturimeter
2. Collect the certain volume of water in the
tank and note the time t
3. Note the manometer reading in the left limb
(h1) and right limb of manometer (h2). This
difference is x.
4. Repeat the steps 1 to 3 for other rate of
flow.
5. Take seven to eight sets of readings
 SAFETY
General:
Over-pressurization
Higher or lower temperatures
Pressure and temperature
Avoid scraping or scratching

Typical discharge coefficient values for a

venturi meter range from 0.95 to as high as 0.995.
 MAINTENANCE
The most important maintenance aspect of a
Venturi flowmeter system is to prevent a build up of
debris in the Venturi flowmeter tube pipe
taps. Routine maintenance requires flushing pipe
tap connections and/or pressure diaphragm seals
located at the pipe taps. In addition, the Venturi
flowmeter system requires the following basic
maintenance and calibration procedures:
