Flow Meter Calibration
Product Code : LSK-FM-10450
Flow Meter Calibration (SKU LSK-FM-10450) is a teaching apparatus that compares the accuracy and use of fundamental flow meters, starting with the nozzle meter supplied and extending to optional meters that fit the same base unit. It suits engineering students of all branches in fluid mechanics lab experiments. The apparatus is built by Science Lab Supplies, which manufactures it in Saha, Ambala, India (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area) and quotes it straight to universities, polytechnics, contractors and dealers.
Specifications
A flow meter clamps between two adaptors in the base unit. Four water-filled manometers on a common manifold read the pressure differences across the meter and across the whole meter assembly, and a hand-pump raises the manifold air pressure to offset the readings. A straight pipe section shows the true pressure loss for comparison.

Applications and Experiments for the Flow Meter Calibration Apparatus
Students use the apparatus to see how differential-pressure flow meters work, how accurately each one indicates flow and how much head each one costs the system. With the optional Pitot tube meter it also shows the velocity profile in a pipe, which helps explain the boundary layer and surface friction.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical, civil and chemical engineering: calibration of a nozzle meter and its coefficient of discharge.
- Comparing meter types by swapping optional meters into the same base unit.
- Measuring the permanent pressure loss of each meter against the straight pipe.
- Diploma courses: velocity profile and boundary layer study with the Pitot tube option.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set includes the base unit with adaptors, the nozzle flow meter, the four-manometer panel with common manifold and air valve, the hand-pump and the straight pipe. Other flow meters, including the Pitot tube and Venturi meters, are optional and are quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may ask us to quote a single apparatus or several for parallel student groups; each quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Optional meters and other engineering lab equipment in India from our fluid mechanics list can sit on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Send your requirement through the contact page, collect items in the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for institutional purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flow meter comes with the Flow Meter Calibration apparatus?
The nozzle flow meter is included. Other meters, such as the Pitot tube and Venturi flow meters, are optional and fit quickly between the same adaptors in the base unit.
Why does the manometer manifold have a hand-pump?
The hand-pump raises the air pressure in the common manifold above the four manometers. This offsets all the water columns so that readings stay on the scale while students measure pressure differences.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies makes this apparatus itself. Production takes place at its factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area of Saha, Ambala, India, and your quotation comes from that factory rather than a reseller.
What does the straight pipe show?
The included straight pipe gives a reference against which students compare the true pressure losses caused by the flow meters.
