I. OBJECTIVE:
To determine the discharges and the discharge coefficient of a venturi meter in a
pipeline.
III. PROCEDURE:
1. Fill the tank with water until establishing stationary head.
2. Open the valve in the pipeline with the venture meter and regulate the rise of
mercury in the manometer.
3. Note the pressure differences in the manometer.
4. Catch the jet of the water from the discharge end of the pipe with a container and
timing it.
5. Compute the discharge coefficient based on the theoretical and actual discharges.
