Flow measurement trainer (MMS113) is designed to allow trainees to study the most common types of flow measurement devices used in industrial applications through a closed loop cycle that includes a submersible pump , control valves , flow measuring & display devices. The trainer allows measuring the pressure difference caused by various types of flow meters and to measure the flow coefficients of these flow meters.
- The trainer features a closed water cycle that includes all components and fittings needed for experimentation.
- The water cycle includes a water tank with a submersible pump, flow rate control valve, shut-off valve and piping elements.
- Flow measuring devices included are :
- Orifice plate flowmeter
- Measuring nozzle flowmeter
- Venturi tube flowmeter
- Rotameter
- Only one flow meter device can be fixed to the water cycle at a time for experimentation.
- When the pump is turned on, water flows through the control valve to the rotameter and passing through the flow measuring device under test.
- The rotameter is a device used to measure the flow rate.
- The control valve is used to control the flow rate of the water coming out of the pump until reference flow rate is reached.
- The pressure difference between the two sides of the measuring device is measured using the provided 6 tubes manometer .
- Using the measured pressure difference the student will be able to calculate the flow rate through the flow measuring device under test using Bernoulli equation
- System flow modules and piping elements are made of transparent material for better observation of the process.
- The trainer is supplied with a pump operation switch and emergency switch.
