FAQs of Orifice and Mouthpiece Apparatus:
Q: How is the flow rate measured using the Orifice and Mouthpiece Apparatus?
A: The flow rate is determined by collecting discharged fluid in the 25-liter graduated measurement tank and recording the elapsed time with the calibrated stopwatch. Data from the piezometer tubes can further correlate pressure head and discharge for precise experiment results.
Q: What types of fluids can be used with this apparatus during experiments?
A: Although water is standard, the apparatus is compatible with other low-viscosity liquids, allowing for flexibility in laboratory testing and research across varied hydraulic conditions.
Q: When should the removable orifice and mouthpiece be changed?
A: Change the 10 mm or 15 mm removable orifice or mouthpiece when the experiment protocol specifies different diameters, permitting comparative studies of fluid flow or calibration of results for various sizes.
Q: Where is this apparatus best suited for use?
A: It is recommended for civil, mechanical, and hydraulic laboratories in academic institutions, research centers, and industrial settings, thanks to its robust design, portability, and accuracy.
Q: What is the process for operating the apparatus?
A: Fill the water tank, select and install the appropriate orifice or mouthpiece, power on the centrifugal pump, and record pressure head using the piezometer tubes. Measure discharge volume in the tank while tracking time with the stopwatch, and document readings on the analog scale.
Q: How does the overload protector enhance operational safety?
A: The built-in overload protector automatically shuts down the pump if electrical or mechanical overload is detected, ensuring both user safety and longevity of the equipment.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus for hydraulic laboratory experiments?
A: Key advantages include ease of operation, robust construction, high measurement accuracy (1%), corrosion resistance, and adaptability to various experimental test fluids and setup configurations.
