DESCRIPTION:- A Pitot tube is used to measure the local velocity at a given point in the

flow stress. A Pitot tube of standard design made of copper / SS is supplied and is fixed

below Vernier scale. The Vernier scale is capable to measure the position of Pitot tube in

transparent pipe section. The pipe has a flow control valve to regulate the flow. A U-tube

manometer is provided to determine the velocity head. Present Set-up is self-contained

water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow

control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on

different flow rates.
