The Helical and Turbine Flow Meter Educational Setup is a precision-designed flow measurement training unit that enables students to study and compare the performance of two widely used types of flow meters — the helical flow meter and the turbine flow meter. This experimental setup helps learners understand the fundamental principles of flow measurement in fluid systems, calibration techniques, and real-time monitoring of volumetric and mass flow rates.
Ideal for Engineering Colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs, and Research Institutes, the helical and turbine flow meter trainer provides both theoretical and practical knowledge for students of Instrumentation, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering. The trainer is built for accuracy, durability, and ease of use in academic environments.
This flow measurement lab equipment consists of a closed water circulation system fitted with a helical flow meter and a turbine flow meter for comparative analysis. The setup enables the study of pressure drop, discharge rate, and meter calibration curves.
The helical and turbine flow meter test rig is equipped with control valves, digital indicators, and precise measuring instruments to record and analyze flow parameters. Water is circulated through both meters, and students can record readings for different flow conditions to determine meter coefficients and flow characteristics.
This helical and turbine flow meter educational setup is mounted on a durable powder-coated frame and features transparent piping for visual flow observation. The trainer is designed with industrial-grade components for consistent performance in lab environments, ensuring safety and reliability for repeated academic use.
