Bernoulli's Theorem
- A manometer panel holds the manometer tubes vertically. The base has adjustable feet.
- A common manifold above the tubes has an air pressure-control valve.
- The apparatus includes a horizontal Venturi tube, a downstream flow-control valve and manometer tubes.
- Water enters the Venturi meter and its flow-control valve sets the flow rate.
- This valve is downstream, so it does not cause any upstream turbulence.
- The manometer panel has a scale behind the manometer tubes for direct reading of the water levels in the tubes.
- Plastic materials and corrosion-resistant finishes throughout the equipment protect against corrosion.
- To adjust the datum water level in the manometer tubes, students connect a hand-pump to the air valve above the manometer tubes.
