Pitot Tube Apparatus

This apparatus is used to measure the velocity of fluid in the pipe. This apparatus is also used to measure the coefficient of pitot tube.

 A Centrifugal pump of 25mm x 25mm with 1/2 HP Motor
 M.S. SUMP TANK 80 X 33 X 30cm to collect the water.
 M.S. MEASURING TANK 45 X 30 X 30cm fitted with Piezometer tube to measure the discharge. Damper is used to collect the water in M.S. MEASURING TANK for certain time.
 G.I. pipe of internal dia 25.4mm (1") and Gunmetal ISI mark Control Valve and regulating valves are used to circulate water.
 Bye-pass line is also used to regulate the discharge.
This apparatus consists of steel pitot tube (bend through 90o) fitted 1.5" pipe. Pressure tapings are provided on pitot tube and pipe. The pressure tapping are connected to the inclined U Tube Mercury Manometer to measure pressure difference.

The tanks are well epoxy painted inside to prevent rust hence increase the life of tank.
