Cavitation in a Venturi
Product Code : LSK-FM-10461
Cavitation in a Venturi unit (SKU LSK-FM-10461) is a purpose-designed teaching unit for investigating the causes and effects of cavitation, with clearly visible cavitation produced in a Venturi that has a transparent window. It also helps students understand the Venturi through its upstream and throat pressures. The complete mobile unit is a Science Lab Supplies manufacture from Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and is quoted from there to colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each component of the cavitation unit, from tank to thermometer, has a separate row in the table. In short, a robust mobile frame carries a water tank, an electric pump with electrical protection, a flow-control valve, a flow meter and the windowed Venturi, with gauges reading upstream and throat pressures.

Applications and Experiments for the Cavitation in a Venturi Unit
Cavitation can damage machines and hydraulic systems, so designers must allow for it. With this unit, theory and experiment are combined to predict the onset of cavitation, the continuity and Bernoulli equations are applied to calculate flow and pressure, and different ways of creating cavitation are compared.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical and chemical: onset of cavitation in a Venturi throat, with a smaller acrylic-section version on the Cavitation Demonstration.
- Upstream and throat pressure measurements with the continuity and Bernoulli equations.
- Reading water temperature to find the vapour pressure used in onset calculations.
- Diploma and turbomachinery courses: why machines and hydraulic systems suffer cavitation damage, seen and heard in a pump on the Centrifugal Pump Test Set, and sources of experimental error.
Standard Scope of Supply
The unit is supplied complete on its frame: water tank with splash cover, electric pump with protection, flow-control valve, flow meter, transparent-window Venturi, two pressure gauges, thermometer and worktop. The stroboscope is optional and appears on the quotation only if you request it.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a single unit or several, with or without the stroboscope. Each quotation specifies packing, delivery time and price for your chosen quantity, and other engineering lab equipment in India from our fluid mechanics list can be added to the same document.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and is able to ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Mention whether you want the stroboscope when you write via the contact page or add the unit to the enquiry cart; a tender purchase can follow the route on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Cavitation in a Venturi unit need a hydraulic bench?
No. It is self-contained, with its own water tank, electric pump, flow-control valve and flow meter on a mobile frame, so it can be moved into position and run on its own.
How do students see the cavitation?
The Venturi has a transparent window, so the cavitation it produces is clearly visible while flow and pressure are measured. An optional stroboscope can be quoted to improve the image of the cavitation.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This cavitation unit, frame and windowed Venturi included, is made at Science Lab Supplies' Saha, Ambala premises in India, and the quotation for it is issued by the factory, not a trade channel.
What safety features does it have?
The pump has electrical protection and the water tank has a splash cover to prevent spillage. As an electric pump runs beside water, use the unit under supervision and keep electrics dry.
