OBJECTIVE :-
 TO PERPARE A VENTURIMETER AND CALIBRATE IT

 THEN FIND THE DISCHARGE THROUGH A PIPE USING THE

VENTURIMETER
CONCEPT AND EFFECTS BEHIND
VENTURIMETER
 Venturimeter are used to measure the velocity of flow
of fluids in a pipe.
 They consist of short length of pipe shaped like vena
contracta, or the portion with the least crosssectional
area , which fits into a normal pipeline.
 The obstruction caused to the flow of liquid at the
throat of the venturi produces a local pressure drop in
the region that is proportional to the rate of discharge.
 This phenomenon, using Bernoulli's equation, is used
to calculate the rate of flow of fluid flowing through
the pipe.
 The entry of the venture is cylindrical in shape to
match the size of the pipe through which fluid flows.
This enables the venture to be fitted to the pipe.
 After the entry, there is a converging conical section
with an included angle of 19' to 23'.
 Following the converging section, there is a cylindrical
section with minimum area called as the throat.
 After the throat, there is a diverging conical section
with an included angle of 5' to 15'.
 Openings are provided at the entry and throat (at
sections 1 and 2 in the diagram) of the venture meter
for attaching a differential pressure sensor (utube
manometer, differential pressure gauge, etc)
 The fluid whose flow rate is to be measured enters the
entry section of the venturimeter with a pressure P1.
 As the fluid from the entry section of venturimeter flows
into the converging section, its pressure keeps on reducing
and attains a minimum value P2 when it enters the throat.
 That is, in the throat, the fluid pressure P2 will be
minimum.
 The differential pressure sensor attached between the entry
and throat section of the venturimeter records the pressure
difference(P1-P2) which becomes an indication of the flow
rate of the fluid through the pipe when calibrated.
 The diverging section has been provided to enable the fluid
to regain its pressure and hence its kinetic energy. Lesser
the angle of the diverging section, greater is the recovery.

COMPARISION:
THROAT RATIO:
 Throat ratio is the ratio of diameter of the throat to the
diameter of the pipe
 Throat ratio for venturi meter usually lies between
0.25-0.75
 For our venturi meter throat ratio is 0.57
 Throat ratio =d/D
=2/3.5
=0.57
