F1-10 Accessory
F1-17 Orifice and Free Jet Flow- Issue 19
This equipment permits calibration of two orifices of differing diameter.
ORDERING SPECIFICATION
• Constant head tank with two interchangeable orifices
• Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench
• Jet trajectory measured and plotted using adjustable pointers
• Educational Software available as an option
TOPDescription
In the Orifice & Free Jet Flow accessory a constant head tank is fed with water from the Hydraulics Bench. The orifice is installed at the base of this tank by means of a special wall fitting which provides a flush inside surface.
The head is maintained at a constant value by an adjustable overflow and is indicated by a level scale. A jet trajectory tracing device allows the path followed by the jet to be ascertained.
Adjustable feet permit levelling.
