    The document summarizes the calibration of a venturi meter. It discusses the theory behind how venturi meters work by reducing the cross-sectional area to create pressure differences that enable flow rate determination. The objectives are to calibrate the venturi meter at different flow rates and determine the coefficient of discharge. The procedure involves filling a tank, connecting the venturi meter, adjusting flows, recording differential pressures, and changing flows to collect data. Observations note slight differences between calibration and actual records. The conclusion restates the venturi meter design with converging, throat, and diverging sections and pressure taps to measure differential pressures.

    Topic # 14. Calibration of volume tank, water meter, orifice, venture meter and
    weir.

    Tutor: Ma’am Nanette P. Dimagiba.

    Name: Owia Jason.


    I. Title.
    Calibration of venturi meter.
    II. Theory.
    Venturi Meter is a device that is used for measuring the rate of flow of fluid through a
    pipeline. The basic principle on which a Venturi Meter works is that by reducing the cross –
    sectional area of the flow passage, a pressure difference is created between the inlet and
    throat & the measurement of the pressure difference enables the determination of the
    discharge through the pipe.

    III. Objectives
    Calibration of Venturi meter different flow rate.

     Determination of Co-efficient of Discharge through Venturi meter

    IV. Apparatus.
    Venturi meter

     1000 ml graduated cylinder

     Stopwatch

     Caliper
    V. Procedure
    1. Fill in the sump tank with clean water.
    2. Keep the delivery valve closed and manometer valve at open open position.
    3. Connect the power cable to 1Ph, 220V, 10 Amps with earth connection.
    4. Switch on the pump & open the delivery valve.
    5. Open the corresponding Ball valve of the Venturi or Orifice meter pipeline.
    6. Adjust the flow through the control valve of the pump.
    7. Open the corresponding Ball valves fitted to Venturi or Orifice tappings.
    8. Note down the differential head reading in the Manometer. (Expel if any air is the by
    opening the drain cocks provided with the Manometer.)
    9. Operate the Butterfly valve to note down the collecting tank reading against the known
    time and keep it open when the readings are not taken.
    10. Change the flow rate and repeat the experiment.
    VI. Findings.
    VII. Observations.
    I have observed that sometimes the calibration of instructments is slightly different from
    actual record.

    VIII. Conclusion.
    The inlet section of the Venturi Meter is of the same diameter as that of the pipe, which is
    followed by a convergent one. The convergent cone is a short pipe, which tapers from the
    original size of the pipe to that of the throat of the Venturi Meter. The throat of the Venturi
    Meter is a short parallel side tube having its cross – sectional area smaller than that of the
    pipe. The divergent cone of the Venturi Meter is a gradually diverging pipe with its cross –
    sectional area increasing from that of the throat to the original size of the pipe. At the inlet
    and the throat, of the Venturi Meter, pressure taps are provided through pressure rings.
