Flow Meter Demonstration Unit

The Flow Meter Demonstration Unit is a self-contained facility to demonstrate the important characteristics of flow meters. The main elements are a service module and flow meter support stand. A self-priming centrifugal pump draws water from the sump tank in the service module and delivers it to a flow meter test pipe. Industrial type flow meters mounted in test sections can be fitted into the test pipe quickly and easily. These meters have been chosen to give a variety of different metering principles and degrees of sophistication and accuracy. Some of the meters are calibrated directly in units of flow, whilst others involve the use of calibration charts.

The pressure drop across each of the flow meters can be measured by using either the one meter pressurized water manometer or the 0.5 meter mercury manometer supplied. Ported manometer connection valves ensure rapid bleeding of all manometer pipe work. A facility exists to admit air into the hydraulic stream to demonstrate the effect on the meter’s accuracy. The discharge from the test section is controllable and is fed through a diffuser into the channel of the service module.
