HM 150.13 METHODS OF FLOW MEASUREMENT

The unit comprises a Venturi nozzle (9), an orifice


plate, a measuring nozzle and a Pitot tube (8) for
flow measurement and a rotameter (3).
The flow rate can be regulated using the gate
valve (2).
The pressure losses at the measuring elements
can be recorded using pressure connections with
rapid action couplings.
The connections are connected to a 6-tube
manometer (6), which is fitted with a ventilation

valve.
The flow rate can be measured using the HM 150
Base Module for Experiments in Fluid
Mechanics (volumetric flow measurement).
All components of the experimentation stand are
clearly arranged on a base plate with a frame (5).
The unit is designed to be used in conjunction with
the HM 150 Base Module for Experiments in
Fluid Mechanics, which provides the water sup-
ply and allows volumetric flow measurement.

ried out with the ventilation valve closed

3.2 Differential Pressure Measurement

The ventilation valves (12, 13) are closed. Above

pa the two water columns shown there is an air cush-
ion with a pressure of pa.
This results in the equations below:

p1 = pa + h1    g (3.1)

Fig. 3.2 The required differential pressure is

p = p 1 – p 2 = p a + h 1    g – p a – h 2    g (3.3)

The pressure pa cancels out to give


p = h    g mit h = h 1 – h 2 (3.4)

A zero point adjustment is carried out by adjusting


the air pressure pa.
To ensure the largest possible measuring range,
the zero point for the manometer should be in the
middle of the scale h max

The air cushion pressure is adjusted using the

For relative gauge pressure measurements, i.e.

measurements in which the pressure is stated rel-
pressure p0 ative to the ambient atmospheric pressure p0 , the
ventilation valve (13) must be closed. The air
cushion pressure pa is equal to the ambient
atmospheric pressure p0 .

3.4 Preparing and Performing a Pressure Measurement

• Connect the connecting hoses to one of the


two measuring elements and to the 6 tube
manometer. The measuring connections are
selfclosing.
• Close the ventilation valve (13) on the 6 tube
manometer.
• Open the ventilation valve (12) on the 6 tube
manometer.
All rights reserved, G.U.N.T. Gerätebau, Barsbüttel, Germany 08/2013

• Start the water inlet (from the HM 150).


• Close the gate valve (2).
• Rinse the 6 tube manometer until no more bub-
bles are visible.
• Stop the water inlet (from the HM 150).
• Close the ventilation valve (12).
• Open the ventilation valve (13) and adjust the
water level in the tube manometer (centre of
scale).
• Close the ventilation valve (13) again.
• Carefully open the gate valve (2).
• Carefully open the water inlet (from the
HM 150).
• Observe the heights of the water columns in
the tubes.
• Adjust the flow rate with the gate valve (2).

3.5 Introduction to Flow Measuring Methods

3.5.1 Rotameter

This kind of rotameter consists of a vertical coni-


cal measuring section, through which the liquid
flows from bottom to top.
A specially shaped float moves freely in the liquid
flow and is carried along by the flow due to its flow
resistance. This results in equilibrium between the
weight of the float on the one hand and its drag
All rights reserved, G.U.N.T. Gerätebau, Barsbüttel, Germany 08/2013

h
and lifting force on the other.
The float adjusts to a particular height in the
measuring tube depending on the flow volume.
Because of the operating principle, a reliable
measuring range on a rotameter never begins at
zero, but at ~5% ... 10% of the final measuring
value.
Fig. 3.4
Different floats are normally used depending on
the medium and the measuring range.
• Standard measuring ranges:
~ 0,0001 ... 100m3/h
• Width of measuring range: ~ 1 : 10
• Standard measuring characteristics: linear
• Measuring accuracy: ~± 1 ... 3%
• Pressure loss over measuring tube:
~0,06 ... 0,6bar

3 Basic Principles 8
HM 150.13 METHODS OF FLOW MEASUREMENT

The rotameter used in the HM 150.13 has the fol-


lowing properties:

• Removable float, stainless steel
• Removable percentage scale, relative to max.

The measured flow rate value is always read at


the upper edge of the float.

NOTICE
Air bubbles and other impurities cause measuring
inaccuracies. To prevent these, rinse the system
at the start of a measurement by fully opening all
the valves.

HM 150.13 METHODS OF FLOW MEASUREMENT

3.5.2 Orifice Plate and Measuring Nozzle

The orifice and nozzle are what is known as the


restrictors. They both represent a constriction in a
tube. The reduction in cross section results in an
Measuring increase in the speed of the flowing medium. This
nozzle is associated with a pressure loss p between
the normal tube cross section AD before the inlet
and the constricted tube cross section Ad at the
orifice or nozzle. This pressure loss p is a meas-
ure of the volumetric flow.
All rights reserved, G.U.N.T. Gerätebau, Barsbüttel, Germany 08/2013

This type of measurement is extremely accurate,


but the orifice or nozzle have a comparatively high
p flow resistance.
Restrictors are very sensitive to disturbances in
the inlet and outlet flow. Elbows, T-pieces, valves,
gate valves or similar fittings must therefore be
installed sufficiently far away from the restrictor.

3.5.3 Pitot Tube

The Pitot tube measures both the static (1) and


the total pressure (2). The difference between
these two values gives the dynamic
pressure pdyn.

p dyn = p tot – p stat (3.9)

Total pressure ptot


The dynamic pressure is proportional to the
square of the flow speed and can be calculated as
follows:

 2
p dyn = ---  v (3.10)

Static pressure pstat

Fig. 3.9 Pitot tube The flow speed v can be determined from the vol-
·
umetric flow V and the flow cross-section A.

·
v = V
---- (3.11)
A

The pressure difference can therefore be used to


calculate the volumetric flow rate for a given flow
cross-section. As a constant distribution of veloc-
ity over the flow cross-section is assumed to sim-
plify the calculation, but in reality a significantly
lower velocity occurs close to the wall, the volu-
metric flow rate calculated in this way will be too
high. This can be compensated using a correction
factor.

3 Basic Principles 12
HM 150.13 METHODS OF FLOW MEASUREMENT

For steady turbulent flow in pipes of circular cross-


section the average speedv is described by the
ratio of the average flow speed v to the maximum
flow speed vmax in consideration of the correction
factor 0,84.

v -
-----------  0,84 (3.12)
v max
All rights reserved, G.U.N.T. Gerätebau, Barsbüttel, Germany 08/2013

This yields a average flow speed v.

v  v max  0,84 (3.13)

The maximum flow speed vmax can be deter-


mined from the measured differential pressure
pdyn and the flow cross-section A.

2  p dyn
v max = ------------------- (3.14)

·
The flow rate V cal is calculated from the mean
flow speed v and the flow cross-section A.

·
V cal  A  v max  0,84 (3.15)

The free through-streamed pipe circular cross-


section A, is the difference of cross-section of the
pass through tube d1 and the cross-section of
pipe for total pressure measurement at Pitot
tube d2.

3.5.4 Venturi Nozzle

The Venturi tube is also a throttle device. In this


case, the constriction of the tube cross section is
split into three different areas. The inlet corre-
sponds to a nozzle, followed by a straight section
and finally a diffusor with a defined extension
angle  .
The pressure loss p between the normal tube
p cross section AD before the inlet and the con-
stricted straight section Ad is significantly less
All rights reserved, G.U.N.T. Gerätebau, Barsbüttel, Germany 08/2013

than with the orifice or nozzle.

in the HM 150.13, the housing cover is made of
Plexiglass.
